After the Republic of China

Chapter 1045 Careful
Luo Congbai never expected that he was seen sitting in the pavilion enjoying a snack by the person he was afraid of.

However, even if he knew, he could only run away shamelessly.

Xiao Cui, who was following Shao Lanxiang, watched the scene in the pavilion from afar and smiled, "I didn't expect that my son-in-law has such a gentle side."

Luo Congbai had been on the battlefield and shed blood, and he was also a good leader of troops. Although he was deliberately gentle in his daily life, he still looked a little cold and hard.

Shao Lanxiang smiled and said, "Mrs. Man is free now. Please ask Cuilan and Cuixiang to get the wedding dress for Miss to try on and see if there is anything that doesn't fit well."

Cuilan and Cuixiang are both pretty good at needlework now.

However, Shao Lanxiang thought it was still lacking. Otherwise, Shao Yunshi's wedding dress would have been ready long ago and there would be no need to modify it again and again.

Xiao Cui thought of the "hard work" of her two older sisters who also had the same name Cui, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go in a minute."

Seeing her giggling, Shao Lanxiang said unhappily, "It's not that I'm picky, it's just that Cuilan and the others' craftsmanship is not good enough. If our tailor hadn't been brought along, I wouldn't have used them."

"Madam, there are many experienced tailors in Shanghai. If you really don't like it, we might as well hire someone to do it for us. Why bother them?" Xiao Cui said in confusion.

"You think too simply. This is a wedding dress, and usually the bride has to embroider it herself." Shao Lanxiang glanced at her, "Now our family has let Cuilan and others do it, which is already considered cheating. How can we let outsiders know about it?"

Xiao Cui came to her senses and quickly apologized with a smile: "In fact, Cui Lan and Cui Xiang's embroidery is also very good. They were all taught by Master Yang."

Speaking of Master Yang, Shao Lanxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I have Master Yang to help me, otherwise I would have been really anxious about this wedding dress."

Xiao Cui thought about Miss Shao's exhausted look and said with a smile, "That's right, Miss, you are just too slow."

Shao Lanxiang also laughed, "I feel sorry for her for wearing out her eyes. Oh, I forgot about this. I should have asked her to embroider the wedding dress earlier."

Speaking of this, Shao Lanxiang felt sorry for her niece's marriage because there was no proper family to take care of it.

Seeing her changed expression, Xiao Cui knew that the lady was probably thinking about those people in Peking again, so she quickly changed the subject.

With Xiao Cui distracting her, Shao Lanxiang perked up again and started planning various matters.

Shao Lanxiang treated her eldest niece Shao Yunshi with both love and pity.

In Shao Lanxiang's heart, her marriage was as important as marrying off her daughter. Therefore, she was very concerned about it.

The servants in the family were all worried that she would overwork and hurt her health.

Then, Xiao Cui was relieved to see her become furious again. She had received an order from her master and could not make the lady upset.

But as Shao Yunshi's wedding date approached, Xiao Cui's relief was obviously too early.

Every day, Shao Lanxiang anxiously ordered the people around her around her, making everyone feel inexplicably nervous.

This sentiment continued until the arrival of Mr. Shao from Peking.

"Xiaodong, what time does the old man's train leave?" Shao Yunshi turned around and asked while combing her hair.

Xiaodong was helping her senior sister make the bed. When asked, she replied directly, "It seems to be the afternoon train."

Shao Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I'm always afraid of forgetting things lately."

Xiao Dong was also nervous when he heard this, "That's right, if the little aunt keeps asking questions all day long, everyone will be nervous, and it will be a mess."

"Oh, life is getting more and more chaotic." Shao Yunshi hates being busy all day long.

Xiaodong knew that she was annoyed, and hurriedly advised: "Good days are coming soon, please be patient, senior sister. Besides, with the old man here, my aunt will be safe." Shao Yunshi also knew that her aunt was so worried because she had never done anything big on her own.

"I'm not impatient, I just feel a little distressed seeing my aunt like this." Shao Yunshi combed her hair and got up to go to the bathroom.

Xiaodong has become much more stable in recent years. Seeing that his senior sister was being stubborn, he didn't say much and just smiled.

The old man was about to arrive in the afternoon, and Shao Yunshi was no longer in a irritable mood. She got herself ready and went to discuss the arrangements for picking him up with her aunt.

Mr. Shao and Shao Lanxiang had bought real estate in Shanghai a few years ago. However, Shao Yunshi was also a member of the Shao family, so naturally she was brought to the Shao Mansion.

Shao Lanxiang looked at her niece with a smile, "Aunt Man, your grandfather is coming, I'm afraid he will test Cong Bai severely."

When Shao Yunshi saw that her aunt looked relaxed, she knew that she had found her backbone and was no longer anxious, and she felt a little happier.

Then, she agreed with her aunt and said, "Grandpa deserves to test me."

Shao Lanxiang was relieved to see that her niece didn't stop her, "Cong Bai seems to have made a lot of progress since he came back this time."

Shao Lanxiang was born into a noble family and was always cruel to others. Although she thought Luo Congbai was okay in the past, she felt that he was a bit rough and lacked some refinement.

She felt that such a man was not worthy of her aunt.

Therefore, it is normal to argue with people on a daily basis.

Unexpectedly, we met again many years later. Luo Congbai had grown into a brilliant and outstanding person, but he was also a reserved and heroic person, which made people admire him.

Shao Yunshi knew that her aunt was very picky about wood, and it was extremely rare for her to say such words now.

She was happy in her heart and said sweetly, "I need Grandpa to teach me more. He is far inferior to my uncle."

After hearing this, Shao Lanxiang glanced at her niece with amusement and nodded in agreement, "That's right, the old man doesn't easily accept disciples nowadays. If you help give him some advice, Cong Bai will definitely be more outstanding."

Seeing her aunt was serious, Shao Yunshi laughed a little, but she also knew that her grandfather still had some connections and status.

If grandpa is willing to carry the wood around for a while, it will be beneficial to their work in the future.

However, she was also worried about her family's affairs. If anything happened, her grandfather and others would be implicated.

Shao Lanxiang didn't notice her niece's distraction, and continued, "I took you to visit some friends a few days ago, you must have taken note of it."

Shao Lanxiang had a high social status, so when she came to Shanghai, naturally there were people to greet her. So, when she was busy with her wedding, she would visit one or two friends.

In order for her niece to integrate into the upper class, she would naturally bring Shao Yunshi with her every time, and would only leave the child behind in some inappropriate occasions.

Shao Yunshi knew that her aunt was helping her. Her heart felt warm. She snuggled up to her aunt and responded softly.

Seeing her like this, Shao Lanxiang sighed with pity.

Originally, Shao Lanxiang was planning to make a few more suggestions, but seeing her niece's reaction, she gave up the idea and turned to arrange matters for the old man's arrival.

Seeing her aunt like this, the somewhat shy Shao Yunshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't know how to deal with her aunt's kindness.

After all, some things will always be a mixture of joy and sorrow for her and Mu Tou in the future.

In the afternoon, Feihong went to pick up the old man. Besides being familiar with Shanghai, he was also a member of the Shao family.

As soon as the old man arrived, Shao Mansion immediately became lively again. Three generations of the family gathered in the living room to reminisce about their separation.
