After the Republic of China

Chapter 27
Mrs. Shao felt sorry for her daughter, and almost shed tears while speaking.

With her like this, the room was a little awkward for a while.

Suo's mother stood aside, not knowing how to persuade her.

Seeing her mother like this, Shao Lanxiang's heart softened, and she hurriedly begged for mercy.I don't want to mention my elder brother Shao Mingkang again, and of course I don't want to make my mother angry.

So, after she had finished coaxing her, she hurriedly displayed the presents she had bought from Nanjing for her mother to take a closer look at.

Old Mrs. Shao didn't want to make her daughter unhappy, so she let go of the previous words and took advantage of the opportunity to look at the presents on the table.

For a while, the atmosphere between the mother and daughter returned to the past.

Suo's mother secretly let out a sigh of relief.

The mother and daughter were talking about the distribution of gifts, and when they were talking lively, they even asked Mother Suo to join them.

The three of them were talking, when a voice of hello came from outside.

Mrs. Shao's Happy Hall is near the front yard.

The old lady felt sorry for the children getting up early in winter, so she told them to come later to say hello after breakfast.

The place where Shao Yunshi lived was the furthest from the main courtyard, but it was closer to the Xifutang near the front courtyard.

Although Mrs. Shao told her to say hello later, Shao Yunshi was the first to arrive every day considering the time and distance.

She was like this, which made the mother and daughter of the Bai family who had been trying to find her fault, very helpless.

Old Mrs. Shao knew that it was her eldest granddaughter who came, but she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, and her expression was calm.

Suo's mother is very kind, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss is here, she is the first one to arrive every day, this is embarrassing."

Shao Lanxiang, the little aunt, was really happy when she heard that her aunt had arrived. She didn't listen carefully to what Suo's mother said, but just jumped up.

Fortunately, her mother stopped her, otherwise she would have rushed out the door.

Seeing that her daughter was so happy to hear Manggu's voice, Mrs. Shao smiled and said to herself, the big girl is still useful.

Although Shao Lanxiang and Shao Yunshi are separated by generations and ages, they are also teachers and friends. They haven't seen each other for a while, and they miss each other very much.

Shao Yunshi was afraid that the old lady would be unhappy, so she suppressed her excitement and joy, and greeted the old lady and aunt politely.

In front of her daughter, Mrs. Shao naturally wouldn't give her granddaughter a look.

Shao Yunshi got the first hot face from Mrs. Shao this year, and she smiled inwardly.

However, she has always been calm, and others cannot see her coldness.

Now, when she saw her aunt, she was in a good mood, so she ignored the old lady's cold face and directly followed Shao Lanxiang's pull to sit beside the couch.

Suo's mother kept watching secretly, seeing that she was not surprised by her honor, she nodded secretly.

Shao Lanxiang didn't pay attention to these details. With Shao Yunshi by her side, she was in a good mood. She pulled someone to take a closer look, and she was very happy to see that she was neither fat nor thin.

Shao Yunshi knew that her little aunt really loved her, so she didn't feel awkward, and followed her tossing and tugging.

Seeing the gentle and sunny smile on the eldest niece's face, Shao Lanxiang's heart brightened, and she nodded affectionately on the forehead of her niece, "I've grown a little taller, but I'm thinner again, you should make it up."

Shao Yunshi was also happy to receive her little aunt's genuine concern. She touched her arm, nodded and said: "Not thin, I have gained a few catties in winter."

Shao Lanxiang knew that the little girl was pretty, so she didn't say much. She pointed to a set of ancient books on the table and said, "I know you have high vision. Let's take a look. Can this gift catch your eye?"

The main hall of Xifutang is decorated with riches and magnificence, and it is even more impressive if it is matched with a table of ceremony.

In particular, a box with simple packaging on the table is even more forgettable at first sight.

Shao Yunshi fell in love with the box immediately, and was full of anticipation for the ancient books inside.

However, Shao Lanxiang's words of holding his niece won the cold eyes of Mrs. Shao.

Shao Yunshi's knowledge of ancient Chinese proverbs was obviously taught by Mrs. Shao herself, but in fact, she studied under everyone in her previous life, and her collection of books at home is also extremely rich, and her knowledge and ability have long surpassed her grandfather's.

Then, everyone in the family knew that she liked ancient books and miscellaneous notes very much.

The boring and jerky books that are hard for others to read become extremely vivid and interesting with her, and she cherishes them very much.

Her ability to be smart and eager to learn greatly comforted Mr. Shao, who was ashamed of himself.

He only sighed that the eldest granddaughter is not a grandson, otherwise the son, who is so dull, could have just given up.

Shao Yunshi knew her little aunt's kindness, and she was really happy about it, so she hurriedly picked up the book list.

Taking a closer look, it really brightened her eyes, ""Tui Bei Tu" was published tomorrow, this one is really good."

Shao Lanxiang knew that her eldest niece would like this, so she said with a smile, "It's fine if you like it, I really don't know why you, a child, like these."

Shao Yunshi smiled coquettishly and said, "Everyone has their own love."

Shao Lanxiang shook her head, "Okay, put this away first, there are some things for girls on the table. Take a look and take whichever you like."

After listening to her daughter's heartless words, Mrs. Shao gave her a helpless look, but she didn't stop her. After all, the eldest granddaughter is the eldest granddaughter, so it's not wrong to hold on to her first.

Shao Yunshi happened to catch Mrs. Shao's gaze, so she understood.However, she would not reject her little aunt's kindness just to cater to the old lady.

So, she just pretended she didn't see anything, and looked at the table together with her little aunt.

The little girl's things are nothing more than jewelry, handbags and bags.

These things looked strange, but Shao Yunshi was not greedy, she just chose a lovely earrings inlaid with pink diamonds and a plain handbag.

Seeing that Shao Yunshi only chose two inconspicuous ones, Mrs. Shao gave her a rare look of approval.

Shao Lanxiang knew that her eldest niece had many good things, so she didn't force her to choose again.

Mrs. Shao was more satisfied with her daughter like this, and she did not hesitate to teach some tricks of choosing gifts and the rules of gift giving.

She was able to do this, which made both aunt and nephew breathe a sigh of relief.

The three mothers in the room were talking about some essentials for the New Year, and the mother and daughter Bai also came outside.

"Brother Yuan, is he awake?" Bai asked with a slightly higher voice, who was only listening.

The girl guarding the door whispered "not yet" and raised the curtain.

Bai didn't care about the attitude of the girls, asked his son, took his daughter's hand, and entered the house.

Shao Lanxiang annoyed her the most, when she heard her deliberately mentioning her only nephew, she snorted coldly, pulled Shao Yunshi away, and continued to look at the presents.

Mrs. Shao glared at her daughter with a headache.

In fact, she also looks down on Bai's pettiness, but her son is a stubborn person, so he takes Bai's heart seriously, alas——

Unaware of Shao Lanxiang's return, Mrs. Bai twisted in enchantingly, and before saying hello, she suddenly saw the person she least wanted to see.

I saw her face twisted a bit, and she recovered quickly.

As for Young Master Shao's status as a general, in front of Shao Lanxiang, she would like to have a thicker skin.

Then, she took a breath, glanced at the old lady, and greeted her with her daughter.

Rules and etiquette, everything is in place, in front of my sister-in-law, I am more polite than ever.

She asked Ann not to be a demon today, Mrs. Shao was willing to show her face, and said to her little granddaughter: "Second girl, quickly send your little aunt hello."

Shao Xiuxue actually didn't like her little aunt, but she didn't dare to show it, so she hurriedly greeted Shao Lanxiang again.
