After the Republic of China

Chapter 808 Feeling depressed
In the morning in the Sophora Garden, the sounds of birds fill the air with a sense of life.

Shao Yunshi was thinking about something and suddenly saw Cuixiang who was following Luo Cheng. He wondered if he could ask her to handle the Niu family's affairs.

It seemed feasible. Shao Yunshi no longer felt irritable as she listened to the birds chirping.

With Luo Cheng's return, Huaiyuan always became quiet.

A few days have passed and the end of the year has arrived.

On New Year's Eve, of course we have to have a reunion dinner.

The Shao family gathered in the flower hall of the main courtyard.

Mrs. Shao, who didn't want to see Shao Yunshi, gritted her teeth as she watched her eldest granddaughter sitting opposite her, eating her meal gracefully and comfortably.

How could Shao Yunshi not know the look on the old lady's face, but over the years, she had long been used to it, so she was naturally unmoved.

Mrs. Shao also knew that her eldest granddaughter, Ba Feng, was very capable. She calmed down, put down the half-eaten bowl and chopsticks, and said: "On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the fourth Miss of the Liao family will get married. You will be the bridesmaid for Liao Si. , have you remembered it?”

Mrs. Shao's words successfully made the other three people at the table stop using their chopsticks.

For a while, the only sound of young master Shao's eating could be heard at the dinner table.

The old aunt didn't care about anything. When the old lady spoke, she just glanced at the old man sitting in the seat and wiped her mouth with her handkerchief.

The old man didn't have any scruples. He didn't want to think too much about whether the old wife had good intentions in her words. He just threw away his chopsticks and said, "What are you doing to others this year?"

Mrs. Shao was usually very unhappy to meet Shao Yunshi, so she wanted to talk about it in person today, otherwise she would have to see this damn girl alone later, and she didn't want to.

Then, seeing that her husband didn't give her face, Mrs. Shao also stubbornly took it.

She said with a cold face: "Why, I can't speak anymore. Aren't the fourth girls of the Liao family good friends with the eldest girl? She was invited to be the bridesmaid. What did she do to push her away?"

Mr. Shao ignored the secular affairs. After hearing this, he said directly: "If you push it, push it. It's not a big deal."

Mrs. Shao knew that her husband would say this, and she was very angry. She argued: "She doesn't show respect to others. She looks so uneducated. For this reason, I gave Mrs. Liao a guarantee. The eldest girl won't go." must go."

This was so overbearing. Mr. Shao glared angrily. His former elegant and fairylike aura was gone, and his expression was a bit bluffing.

No one answered Mrs. Shao's words, and the hall felt awkward for a while.

Shao Yunshi was fed up with Mrs. Shao's unreasonable troubles, so naturally she would not break the silence.

In fact, years ago, when Liao Si met Shao Yunshi, they mentioned the matter of bridesmaid. Before Shao Yunshi could push it, Liao Si directly said that she didn't need to embarrass her.

After all, we are friends and know each other's temperament.

Shao Yunshi was not a person who liked crowds and bustle. Although she was a little embarrassed, she accepted Liao Si's sentiments.

In fact, she also knew that Liao Si told her this to show that he regarded her as a true friend, otherwise she would not have mentioned the matter of being the bridesmaid.

But now?
Shao Yunshi, who didn't want to pay attention to it, thought about it for a while, her heart trembled, she sat upright, looked up at Mrs. Shao, and whispered softly: "So that grandma will know that the fourth lady has pushed me to be the bridesmaid. If you go again, I won't let you go." Isn’t it easy to arrange?”

After hearing this, Mrs. Shao finally calmed down a little, and said with a stern face: "What do you kids know, I'll just go. With Liao Si's status, it's a honor to have you as a bridesmaid."

"Who is giving face to whom? People listening to your words are confused." Mr. Shao said angrily.

Madam Shao did not answer this, but said directly: "Okay, stop talking and eat!" Eat, what else can I eat? I was so angry that it was about to rise to my throat.

Shao Yunshi secretly held her breath. She was not one to contradict her elders face to face. Knowing that there was something fishy about the matter, she stopped talking, picked up the spoon and drank the sweet soup that had just been served.

Mr. Shao glanced at his proud old wife, sighed secretly, and said nothing more.

The people who ate this reunion dinner were not very happy, so everyone finished the meal in a hurry, and the old man didn't bother to stay up late, so he ordered everyone to disperse.

Shao Yun Shiba had to keep her face to the old Mrs. Shao.

As soon as the old man announced the disbandment, she immediately stood up, gave everyone a group salute, and left the flower hall.

Mrs. Shao, who was hugging Young Master Shao to show her affection, snorted coldly when she saw her blushing and pale face. However, she felt that she had achieved her goal today, and it was New Year's Eve, so she didn't say anything disturbing.

Shao Yunshi, who was walking all the way to Huaiyuan, didn't care about the glares from some people behind her.

She took Cuixiang out of the main courtyard separated by Mr. Shao, and then went to the plum garden enclosed by himself, where she finally felt relieved.

Cuixiang looked at the lady who seemed to be more relaxed, and bravely said, "Miss, this garden is so beautiful, why did the old man block it all off?"

Mr. Shao didn't know what considerations he had. After dividing the Sophora Garden, he divided the large plum blossom forest into a plum garden. The main courtyard and the front yard of the Shao family were not separated.

Nowadays, the Shao family mansion still looks like one from the outside, but it has been divided into three independent courtyards inside.

Shao Yunshi couldn't figure it out, so she just shook her head and said, "Didn't the old man build a house in Meiyuan? I think he wanted to use this place as a resting place in the future."

Thinking that the old aunt might come to live in Huaiyuan in the future, Shao Yunshijue's old man made this arrangement, fearing that firstly, he would separate the two aunts who were not very harmonious, and secondly, he would be close to his sister.

After understanding this, Shao Yunshi felt much better.

Cuixiang didn't want to ask why. After hearing this, she smiled and said: "This plum garden is really a good place for quiet cultivation. There is the fragrance of flowers everywhere in winter. If there are lotus flowers and fish swimming in the small pond in winter, that will be great." Even more beautiful.”

At the end of the sentence, her eyes lit up.

Shao Yunshi glanced at Cuixiang with a look of longing in amusement, but after thinking about it, it really made sense.

On New Year's Eve, the city is brightly lit.

Shao Yunshi smelled the fragrance of the flowers and looked at the bright yellow spots on the branches, and gradually relaxed.

Cuixiang is right. This plum garden is indeed a good place. If the old man lives here, it will be much better than his current study room in the front yard.

Thinking about the benefits, she suddenly felt a little strange, and hurriedly asked: "Cuixiang, do you have any clues about what I asked you to inquire about?"

As soon as she got down to business, Cuixiang immediately straightened her face and said with some excitement: "I heard about it. Unfortunately, I have traveled all over the country and I know the accents of various places. Otherwise, with the caution of that group of people, I might not be able to come up with the right words. ”

Shao Yunshi knew Cuixiang's temperament, so the matter must be more difficult, but he stood firm and said: "Tell me in detail."

Earlier, Shao Yunshi was not very interested in telling Cuixiang to go to the Niu family to find out information, so he did not give Cuixiang a specific time to reply.

As a result, Cuixiang made several trips to find out very detailed information before thinking about returning to the lady.

However, since she was thirty this year, she had no intention of saying anything, but the young lady asked instead.
