Poor children

Chapter 89

一
Suddenly there was a commotion in Shangsheng's house. It turned out that the doorman suddenly came to report that the old lady from Prince Hongshun's house was visiting.

It turned out that the old lady came suddenly without any advance notice. The Shangshang family did not make any preparations. When they heard that the old lady was coming, the family did not even have time to change into decent clothes, so they hurried outside the house to greet her.

I saw a carriage at the door. The carriage of Jinsi Nan was covered with indigo brocade of golden threads and rusty peonies. Two maroon horses had auspicious cloud copper bells hanging on them.
The four members of Shangsheng's family knelt in front of the car and bowed down. When they heard that a person got out of the car, they stood in front of the four of them and ordered him to stand flat. The four of them stood up to express gratitude and looked up to see the old lady of the Fourth Prince's Mansion of Hongshun, wearing a dark green coat. , there is a pattern of Cui Zhai on the clothes, a pink brocade cloud rust shirt, a rusty black and white cherry blossom pattern on the collar, the sleeves are edged with red Luo Yi, wearing a gold and white pattern epiphyllum rain silk brocade skirt, and the jewelry all over the body is very noble.
"This sudden visit is really a bit abrupt. Please don't take it off, Shanda people. It's just because another daughter of mine invited me to be a guest at my house that day. I couldn't wait to mention the invitation and came first."

Shanda people hurriedly raised their hands and saluted, "I don't dare! I don't dare. It's a blessing for the old lady to come to my family. You are welcome! You are welcome!"

Sheng Rongwen heard the old lady said that she invited her, so she looked carefully at the old lady's face, "Mother-in-law! It's you! Is the injury on your foot better?"

"Okay! Okay!" When the old lady saw Sheng Rongwen, her face was filled with smiles

"Rong Wen, don't be rude, this is the wife of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, why don't you open your mouth and call her mother-in-law..." Mr. Sheng was so busy
Sheng Rongwen was so frightened that she hurriedly leaned over and saluted, "Greetings to the old concubine, please forgive my little daughter for saluting."

"It's really not appropriate to call me mother-in-law." The old lady laughed and said, "You have to call me grandma."

"Grandma...grandma?" All four members of the family were surprised by this title.
"Ah...! Mr. Shanda, I came here with my grandson. I must disturb you here." The old lady waved Chenghe over. "Come here, Chenghe. I have seen you... Mr. Shanda"

Seeing that he was called, Chenghe got off his horse and went to Mr. Sheng to salute and say hello to him. He was so panicked that Mr. Sheng immediately went to help him with both hands.

"Isn't it appropriate for a junior to give you a gift? You deserve it..." The old lady came, "We brought some melons and grapes from the northwest, as well as snacks made at home, a small gift. Master Shan, please don't laugh at me."

"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Mr. Shanda was so busy that he even invited the old lady and the young master into the house for tea.

Inside the main hall of Lord Shanda's Admiral's Mansion

The old lady is sitting on the table drinking tea, Chenghe is sitting on the left with his hands hanging down to accompany him, Mr. Sheng is sitting on the right with his hands clasped, Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Rongwen and Sheng Simin are standing in front of the hall.
The old lady took a sip of tea, put the tea bowl on the table and said, "Don't stand still. Why are you so uncomfortable in your own home? You also sit down, let's talk..."

After the mother and daughter thanked them, they all took their seats.
The old lady picked up the bowl again and drank tea while chatting with Shanda people.
Sheng Rongwen was sitting underneath, wondering in her heart, this mother-in-law didn't look like this that day, why did she suddenly become an old concubine?Isn't that young master the eldest son of the Fourth Prince?She didn't expect that he turned out to be the young master Chenghe that all the famous ladies in the capital wanted to marry. She didn't expect that the person she liked would be such a noble person. Sheng Rongwen was very upset in her heart, angry that she had chosen to fall in love with such a person. How can an unattainable person compete with other daughters with her appearance and family background?It seemed that the best thing to do was to dispel the extravagant hopes in her heart. Sheng Rongwen made up her mind and raised her eyes to take a peek at Chenghe, but found that he was staring at her. She quickly turned her head away and pretended not to look. arrive

"It's rare for the old concubine to come here. My little daughter Rongwen is very good at cooking. Although there are only some home-cooked dishes, they are still delicious. Please don't mind and enjoy your meal here." Master Sheng arrived

"Oh? This girl is also good at cooking, so I'm in for a treat today," the old lady laughed.

"Rongwen, why don't you hurry up and get ready!" Shanda people said to Sheng Rongwen
"Yes, father..."

"Chenghe, go and help girl Rongwen, don't tire her out," the old lady said to Chenghe.
"It's so easy to ask the young master to work hard. Naturally, there is no reason to ask the guests to cook. It's better not to go..."

"Let him go! Don't be so tense. Relax. Our original intention is just to visit each other. How about we just be more casual?" The old lady arrived.
"Okay... okay!" Shandaren agreed.
Sheng Rongwen saluted and went out, Chenghe was also busy saluting and followed him out.

"Do you know how to cook?" Chenghe caught up with Sheng Rongwen who was walking quickly.

"Yes" "Does your family have a cook?"

"No, my mother and I cook. My parents are very simple. There is only an old mother who serves me, a disciple, two little girls, four bearers, and a little boy who serves my father. Sis, my housekeeper is my grandpa."

"I think this is good. If there are more people in the family, there will be more troubles."

"Oh……"

"What do you usually do at home?"

"Doing sewing and reading with my mother..."

"What are you doing?" Sheng Rongwen also asked

"Practice swordsmanship, study..."

Realizing that Cheng He had been looking at her, Sheng Rongwen subconsciously wiped her face, "What are you looking at?"

"Why are you so pretty and lack confidence?"

"Am I good-looking? You are the first person to say so. They all say that I am ordinary. When I am with the daughters of other adults and princes, I appear even more ordinary. They all say that it is difficult for me to marry, so it doesn't matter if I am ordinary. You don't know how to dress up, and you are stupid. Who would be stupid enough to come to my house to propose marriage? I'm afraid only the blind and lame will come..." Sheng Rongwen stopped in front of the kitchen door. She felt very sad when she said these words. She put one hand on the door panel. I forgot to push the door open and just dug my fingers into the door panel.
Chenghe looked at her aggrieved look and felt affection in his heart, "Do you have any grudge against this family?"

"Ok?"

"Why are you scratching it? Don't you want to go in?" Chenghe grabbed her hand scratching the door. "Stop scratching it, or it will bleed again." Chenghe pushed open the kitchen door.
Sheng Rongwen's hand was grabbed by him, and a tingling sensation spread from her hand to her heart. She was stunned and didn't know how to react.
Chenghe looked at her stunned and cute look and asked, "Do you think I am blind or lame?"

"What did you say?"

Chenghe didn't answer, he leaned down and pecked her on the lips.

Sheng Rongwen's eyes suddenly darkened, and she almost lost her balance. When she reacted, she hurriedly covered her mouth, "What are you doing? I'm still a man waiting to be married. It's difficult for me to get married. If you treat me like this, I won't do it again in the future." Is it difficult to get married?" After saying this, he squatted on the ground and started crying.
Cheng He smiled when he saw her crying.

Sheng Rongwen cried even harder when she heard her laughing, "Why are you laughing? Just because you are the prince's son, can you be so domineering?"

"Don't cry. Since it's my fault that you can't get married, I'll just marry you."

"You hate it! Do you know my difficulties? You still tease me like this. Do you have any conscience?" Sheng Rongwen cried.
"I'm not teasing you..." Chenghe squatted in front of her and helped her face buried in his arms. "I'm telling you the truth, my grandmother is here to propose marriage. This time, I'll inform your parents first. Come with the matchmaker some other time and bring the betrothal gift."

Sheng Rongwen cried even more when he heard it...
