After the Republic of China

Chapter 800 Strange
Although the old man's study is spacious, there is a charcoal pot burning, and it is not cold at all in winter.

Shao Yunshi drank tea and talked in this peaceful environment, her expression became more and more relaxed.

Her behavior made Mr. Shao more and more satisfied, and he felt a lot more relaxed. It's good that it didn't affect his mood.

He nodded towards the child and said, "It's good that you know. When you treat a person, you can't just rely on blood."

When these words came out, it was obvious that Mr. Shao was disgusted with what Shao Xiuxue had done.

Shao Yunshi understood in her heart and felt aggrieved for the old man.

She didn't want to mention it again, so she asked, "Why doesn't my father come back to celebrate the New Year this year? My aunt and the others won't come back either, right?"

When mentioning this, Mr. Shao looked even colder and said disdainfully: "The Bai family moved to Peking this year, so naturally your good father can't come back."

Shao Yunshi's eyebrows twitched when he heard this.

Mr. Shao took a deep breath and added: "Your aunt and uncle went to their hometown in Shanxi. They will probably be able to come to Yangzhou before the first lunar month."

Shao Yunshi was not surprised by her aunt's arrangement, but she was just curious about her father's thoughts.

Then, Shao Yunshi couldn't help but glanced at her grandfather and asked: "Father, you won't even care about such a big festival for the sake of the Bai family, right? This is against the rules."

Mr. Shao simply did not want to recognize his stupid, short-sighted, floppy-eared son. If such a son were to speak out, all his wisdom would be lost.

Sighing deeply, the old man said in a somewhat old voice with a touch of helplessness: "I can't understand your father's brain. Forget it, let's not talk about him."

Probably because he was afraid that his granddaughter would ask again, the old man continued: "I have asked Lao Zhang to deliver the Luo family's New Year's gift, and I have accepted the return gift from his family."

Shao Yunshi blushed when the old man talked about the Luo family, but she finally understood why Uncle Bu and the others didn't know about it.

Shao Yunshi breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "I know. By the way, I didn't embarrass you with this matter, did I?"

Grandpa Tong doesn’t need to say thank you, but you still have to show some concern.

You know, yesterday and this morning, Shao Yunshi didn't even get a look from the old lady, and her words were even colder.

She knew that this was the old lady's ultimate expression of dissatisfaction with herself. She wasn't afraid of anything else, except that her grandpa would get splinted.

The old man knew his eldest granddaughter's thoughts and was extremely speechless about his wife's stubbornness.

Not wanting to make his granddaughter unhappy, he indifferently ignored his wife's entanglement with him over his granddaughter's marriage and talked to her about her studies.

Shao Yunshi was grateful for her grandfather's protection and followed his words to start her studies.

Both grandfather and grandson are academically talented people, and naturally the more they talk, the better they get along with each other.

The two of them, grandfather and grandson, are also really nice, and they look very close to each other when they talk.

Even the coldness of getting up early can prevent this warmth from melting away.

Therefore, by the time Shao Yunshi returned to Huaiyuan, it was already getting late.

It just so happened that Luo Cheng, who had been sent out by her early in the morning to inquire about information, came to see what was going on.

Seeing him, Shao Yunshi calmed down slightly and said softly: "Brother Acheng, don't be impatient. Sit down and have a cup of tea and then talk slowly."

How can you not be in a hurry? ! He found out the big news. Luo Cheng eagerly took the tea cup handed over by Cuixiang and drank it in one gulp.

Fortunately the tea wasn't hot, otherwise he wouldn't have felt better.

Cuixiang and Shao Yunshi looked at each other funny.

Luo Cheng drank the tea and said with some excitement: "Miss, I asked you clearly. Shao Xiuxue was originally going to stay for the New Year, but he got into trouble and was driven away by the old man. What exactly caused the trouble, everyone shook their heads and didn't know." Speaking of which, Luo Cheng felt a little depressed again about this, and felt even more sorry for the few good cigarettes he gave away.

Although Cuixiang knew something about the Shao family's grudges, there were still many things she didn't understand, and she was very curious about Mr. Shao, who had driven away his granddaughter for the New Year.

Luo Cheng happened to catch a glimpse of her curiosity and glanced at the young lady. He was relieved when he saw that she wasn't paying attention.

Shao Yunshi naturally didn't mind Cuixiang's curiosity, and she happened to not see the expressions of others. At this moment, she was frowning in thought.

In fact, when I returned home yesterday, not only Luo Cheng but also Shao Yunshi noticed something strange.

So, in the evening, Shao Yunshi quietly ordered Luo Cheng to investigate.

When she got up early, she already knew something about her grandfather. Now that Luo Cheng couldn't find out the details, it seemed that the old man had kept him secret.

However, she still felt that the strangeness yesterday was not just about this one thing.

Sighing, Shao Yunshi put aside these strange feelings and asked: "I won't talk about this anymore, do you know why she came back alone?"

Luo Cheng curled his lips and said, "Attend Miss Liao's Fourth Miss's engagement party."

"What, Miss Fourth is getting engaged, why didn't I know?" Shao Yunshi was surprised.

Shao Yunshi didn't have many friends in Yangzhou, and Liao Si was the last one. Although they didn't have much contact in private, they still recognized each other in their hearts.

Luo Cheng also knew this, so he asked: "Miss, do you want to make up for the gift?"

Shao Yunshi said angrily: "Of course I have to make up for it. Why didn't the old man mention this? Could it be that the person Miss Liao Si was engaged to was not a good person?"

After saying this, Shao Yunshi said hurriedly: "If you are not busy with anything else in the afternoon, just go to Liao's house and check out the situation."

Luo Cheng didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head and said: "Okay, who will go to Da Luo Manor to deliver gifts in the afternoon? This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Of course this matter cannot be postponed. Shao Yunshi thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Bu to go there. You just go to Liao's house."

Just someone can go, but when it came to Uncle Bu, Luo Cheng looked at the young lady hesitantly.

Shao Yunshi didn't know what Luo Cheng was thinking. She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Uncle Bu will understand your inquiry."

Luo Cheng was still worried. You should know that his second uncle was responsible for inquiring about information before. If his second uncle knew that he had exceeded his authority, he would definitely beat him.

Thinking about it like this, he felt a slight pain in his back.

Shao Yunshi knew that Bu Yi and the others were extremely strict with their apprentices, so she looked at the cowardly Luo Cheng apologetically.

After thinking about it, she explained: "The reason why I didn't ask Uncle Bu is to let him know. From now on, he can just guard the Sophora Garden."

Luo Cheng was puzzled, "Even so, the second uncle can still get some information by the way."

Shao Yunshi glanced at him and said, "You have to know that Huaiyuan and Shao are two different families now. You can really think about getting news by the way."

But no, the wall that separates Huaiyuan and Shao's family has been built a long time ago. There is not even a moon cave gate left, so they can only use the gate to come and go.

Fortunately, the outer courtyard wall is still connected, otherwise outsiders would definitely be surprised.

Luo Cheng knew that the young lady was right, so he stopped worrying and asked, "If there is nothing else, I will go and give the gift right now, is that okay?"

In the end, he still didn't dare bother his second uncle to give him gifts.

Now? Shao Yunshi glanced at him knowingly, thought for a while, and said, "You should go to Liao's house to explore first."
