After the Republic of China

Chapter 36 Complaint
Shao Lanxiang's feelings towards Yan Cuiling were average, and she asked her, apart from her cousin, most of them were because of her niece.

Then, she said indifferently: "Doesn't she always like to compare with you every day? I think she is not young anymore. When she gets married, you will stop."

Shao Yunshi couldn't help laughing, "Whether she marries or not has nothing to do with me. Auntie should stop worrying about it."

Shao Yunshi generally doesn't care much about irrelevant people.What's more, children's farce like Yan Cuiling.

Seeing that her niece really didn't care, Shao Lanxiang smiled and said, "I'm just saying that you're not timid, and dare to say that my aunt is worrying."

While talking, she didn't hold back, and stretched out her hand to give her niece a hard blow.

At this moment, Ximei, who was watching serving tea, shivered.

Shao Lanxiang had sharp eyes and said happily, "Ximei, you are afraid that I will break your girl."

Ximei still has a good impression of the unassuming second aunt, she smiled and waved her hands, "No, no."

Seeing her hopeless appearance, Shao Lanxiang smiled.

Xi Mei was let go and let out a sigh of relief.

Shao Yunshi gave her an angry look.

Xi Mei glanced at Miss embarrassedly, and whispered: "I heard from Mama that Miss Cuiling is busy taking exams for some painting school."

"Ah?" Shao Yunshi looked at Ximei in surprise, "Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Xi Mei blushed, "I forgot."

Shao Yunshi glanced at her, but didn't say anything in front of her aunt.

Xi Mei stuck out her tongue and escaped unharmed.

Shao Lanxiang didn't discipline the girl for her niece, but said indifferently: "She will probably be admitted to the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts. This school is not very easy to pass."

Shao Yunshi asked strangely: "Cui Ling doesn't have any talent in painting?"

After she finished speaking, she thought about it, and said to her aunt: "I heard from Ximei that my aunt went to Shanghai within a few days after I returned to Yangzhou. It seems to be for cousin Cui Ling's wedding."

"Since Yan Cuiling is busy taking the Academy of Fine Arts exam, Cousin Liping is still in a hurry to find a husband's family for her?" Shao Lanxiang's heart skipped a beat.

"Well, I'm quite anxious to see the posture." Shao Yunshi frowned.

Shao Lanxiang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "At this time, it is not wise for my aunt to go to Shanghai."

Seeing her aunt worrying about her old aunt, Shao Yunshi quickly interrupted, "Auntie, do you think Cui Ling has no talent for painting?"

Shao Lanxiang was not bad either, and said with a suppressed smile, "That's right, not to mention whether she has a talent for reading, but for painting, she must be talented."

Shao Yunshi nodded in agreement.

"As soon as you drew a picture when you were a child, she rushed to make it. As a result, she drew an egg like a stone." Shao Lanxiang laughed loudly as she spoke.

"Eggs and stones are alike." Shao Yunshi also joined in the music.

For Yan Cuiling, Miss Yan's Biao, everyone who knows her knows that she has poor talent, not just in studies.

So Shao Lanxiang shook her head when she heard her niece's words, and said bluntly, "In short, it will be difficult for her to be admitted to the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts with her own ability, unless your cousin pays her."

"Master will definitely pay for it." Xi Mei pouted.

She inserted her mouth a little abruptly, Shao Lanxiang said 'Oh', "You're so sure."

Xi Mei nodded, "In the past, whatever Ms. Cuiling wanted, let alone our master, even the old lady never disobeyed her."

Shao Lanxiang knew her aunt's temperament. She didn't value money, and she was willing to give money to settle the matter. In fact, it was a sign that she didn't care much about the other party. It can be seen that Yan Cuiling is really not good.

Shao Yunshi glared at Ximei, "As long as you talk a lot, she is better than her."

"What's the matter?" Xi Mei muttered, and then she stopped talking under the cold eyes of the young lady.

Shao Lanxiang watched the master and servant fight with amused expression.

Shao Yunshi ignored Ximei, and just handed a Supa in her hand to her aunt.

"Is this for me?" Shao Lanxiang took the veil, and seeing a bunch of bright yellow winter jasmine embroidered on the corner of the veil, she couldn't help laughing, "It's better to hide it from me, this little flower is embroidered so realistically, I like it."

Following her niece's wishes, Shao Lanxiang didn't want to mention irrelevant people anymore, and instead praised the embroidery.

Moreover, Shao Lanxiang really likes the handkerchiefs embroidered by her niece, especially the ones with small yellow florals.

Seeing that her aunt liked it, Shao Yunshi was also happy, she pulled her aunt and asked, "I didn't prepare any presents for my aunt and uncle in the past, but this year I have more free time. Look, aunt, what should I prepare for my uncle?"

Thinking that his brother didn't come back, no one would catch Manggu to make a fuss. Doesn't this kid have more free time?

Shao Lanxiang touched her niece's hand distressedly, shook her head and said, "No, you can go out and play more when you have time. There are still a few good movies in the Yangzhou theater."

Shao Yunshi also went to see the movie, she nodded in agreement and said, "It's really good."

After finishing speaking, she didn't ask her aunt again, and directly opened the drawer, took out the embroidery booklet, and said, "Auntie, take a look at these patterns, if uncle likes them."

Shao Lanxiang took pity on her eldest niece who had no mother to protect her since she was a child, and took great care of her, as did Jiang Zhekai, her husband.

Moreover, he has a very good impression of Shao Yunshi, who is smart and beautiful. Whenever he sees a suitable book, he will remember to help his niece find it.

For example, the "Tui Bei Tu" sent by Shao Lanxiang this time was obtained by Jiang Zhekai.

The aunt and his wife treated her like this, Shao Yunshi naturally wanted to repay her, and she always thought of them when there was something good.

Shao Lanxiang is a clueless person, but he likes these things very much.

Moreover, she also learned these in her boudoir, and her appreciation ability is not bad.

When Shao Yunshi introduced embroidery to her, she could comment on it.

Now, when she saw the exquisite patterns in the embroidery album, she couldn't help but praise, "It's really exquisite, Mangu's painting skills have improved again."

Shao Yunshi smiled and watched her aunt look through the album carefully, and then explained which patterns and purpose, which patterns are suitable for men, and so on.

Shao Lanxiang was very moved by what she said, but no matter what, she couldn't bear to let her eldest niece do it herself, so she said: "If Master Zhou in your room is free, please ask her to make a pair of shorts for your uncle according to this Lianyun map. coat."

Shao Yunshi didn't tell Shao Lanxiang that Master Zhou didn't accompany her back to Yangzhou this year, so she just nodded and said, "Sure, I think it's better to make a Tang suit bunt for my uncle. Doesn't he often punch, it's more convenient."

Shao Lanxiang was really tempted at this moment, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, your uncle's bunt suit that he wears in the morning was made by a master in Shanghai, and it is already old."

"Then decide this set." Shao Yunshi made a final decision.

"Nowadays, it's hard to find a master with good craftsmanship. Master Zhou's skill is not bad, so I'll leave it to her." Shao Lanxiang nodded.

Seeing that her aunt had made up her mind, Shao Yunshi asked her to look at the patterns and colors, and accompanied her with pictures.

But all women like to do this, and Shao Lanxiang is no exception, discussing happily with her niece.

A few girls watched and occasionally gave some advice.

Before she knew it, Shao Yunshi finalized her aunt's clothes again, which was also her wish to give away a favor.
