Chapter 8
Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingyao listened to Nanny Cui's report, there was no big expression on their faces, as if it was no big deal, but they were also thinking in their hearts, this girl doesn't look like such a sharp-mouthed master, Or is it just pretending to be cute all the time.

"Mother, you heard it all, she really thinks she is the master?" Shen Qingyao said angrily without waiting for Mrs. Shen to speak.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Qingyao, and said to Nanny Cui: "I know about this, you go down, just follow the rules, do what you want!"

"Servant, leave!" Mother Cui heard that Mrs. Shen didn't order anything else, so she didn't dare to ask more, and she left as she said.

"Mother, look, she obviously thinks of herself as the eldest lady, so is she going to take my place, and you just look at her like this?" Shen Qingyao said angrily, she felt that the nunnery She must have no temper when she grew up, and she must be a soft persimmon, but this made her uncomfortable for two days in a row. She didn't like Shen Qingzi at first, and now she hates it even more.

Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Qingyao, this daughter was too spoiled by her, and she was too impatient.Before Shen Qingzi came back, no one in this family dared to compare with Qingyao, but now it's different, if there is an experienced Shen Qingzi around, Qingyao will appear to be at a disadvantage. "Qingyao, take your time, not to mention her and Fang Zhuoyun, that's just your speculation, and the current matter, at least we also know that she is not as weak as she appears on the surface, right? I don't know who this is in Biyun Temple After teaching her, it seems that we should send someone to Biyun Nunnery for a walk! Qingzi, don't bother with family matters, and do a good job of embroidering Concubine Liu Guifei with thousands of flowers and beautiful embroidery." Madam Shen said after thinking about it.

"What about her, will she also attend the imperial concubine's birthday banquet?" Shen Qingyao asked, although she felt that the answer was yes, she was still a little unwilling.

"Silly boy, if you don't let her go, others will only think that I am partial to you and have treated the eldest daughter badly." Mrs. Shen said, "The imperial concubine likes to be lively, and although this is her birthday banquet, it is actually for Beijing. Don’t give up on blind dates for the children of middle-level officials, no matter what, as long as you can make the imperial concubine love you, it will be a great honor to you!"

"Mother, I only want Big Brother Fang to look at me, I don't want anything else!" When Shen Qingyao mentioned Fang Zhuoyun, she showed the shy expression of a little girl.

"Then you have to let him know how good you are, Qingyao, listen to your mother, a man won't cherish what is delivered to his door. If you really like Fang Zhuoyun, then ignore him. The more indifferent you are, the more he will The more you will cherish you, do you know?" Mrs. Shen said to Shen Qingyao, she was a little bit resentful that she had always loved her daughter too much, if she had taught her how to catch a man's heart earlier, how could her daughter have done nothing for Fang Zhuoyun and Shen Qing? Zi Zi said a few words and lost his temper?

Shen Qingyao agreed, but she couldn't help feeling a little disapproving in her heart. She only thought that if she was kind to Fang Zhuo Yun, then Fang Zhuoyun would definitely treat her well. "Mother, anyway, you can't let Shen Qingzi rob me!"

"Don't worry, you are my daughter, the jewel in the palm of the Shen family, she, hmph!" Mrs. Shen's tone was slightly contemptuous, as if she was extremely dissatisfied and patient with Shen Qingzi.

"Mother, is she the daughter of our Shen family? If so, who is her mother? If not, don't both father and grandpa know?" Shen Qingyao asked tentatively. Mrs. Shen didn't know this. Ken told her. ,

Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Qingyao, but still didn't say anything, just sent: "Remember what mother told you, and don't ask about the rest!" The old master and the master are obviously partial to that girl, and so is Qingyao. If you can't hide your words, knowing too much is not good for you.

"Mother~" Shen Qingyao said coquettishly, still a little bit indomitable, she wanted to know more about Shen Qingzi, so she could increase her bargaining chip!
"Okay, don't ask any more questions, you can just wait for the imperial concubine's birthday banquet with peace of mind!" Mrs. Shen's tone was low, obviously she didn't want Shen Qingyao to ask any more questions.

Shen Qingyao pursed her mouth, a little bit unwilling but also helpless, so she also retreated.

"Mother Zhu, go and call Steward Yu!" After Shen Qingyao left, Mrs. Shen ordered the mother beside her.

After only half a stick of incense, Steward Yu followed Nanny Zhu to arrive, this Steward Yu was deeply trusted by Madam Shen, she also sent Steward Yu to pick up Shen Qingzi that day.

"I've seen Madam, I don't know what Madam's orders are for summoning?" When he arrived in front of Madam Shen, Steward Yu knelt down and saluted hurriedly, with a very courteous attitude.

"Get up, Steward Yu, do you know that there are so many stewards in the mansion, why did you go to Biyun Nunnery to pick up the young lady that day?" Mrs. Shen said in a calm and polite tone, looking at Steward Yu.

"The little one naturally understands, and the little one didn't forget to take care of the teacher in the nunnery for my wife. I don't know which teacher my wife wants to call?" Yu Guanshi said very neatly.

Mrs. Shen nodded, and then said: "Did you ask how the young lady's temperament is in the nunnery?"

"Naturally, I asked. I secretly reassured that the teacher said that the eldest lady has a weak temperament and a kind heart. She is the most well-behaved!" Yu Guanshi replied.

Weak temperament, well-behaved?Mrs. Shen sneered in her heart, she looked well-behaved, but she was not necessarily weak, and today's behavior showed that Shen Qingzi stuttered and had a lot of thoughts. "Steward Yu, pass on my words, please come down to sit at the mansion!" She still underestimated Shen Qingzi, thinking that she grew up in a nunnery, so she must be ignorant of the world. She lost her sight!

"Let's do it right away!" Manager Yu didn't ask what was the matter, and just responded straightforwardly.

Mrs. Shen also felt that beating Shen Qingzi like this might arouse the dissatisfaction of the old lady, and that girl didn't seem to be able to handle it at will, so she asked the people around her to pass the word on, and everything was as usual, and the matter of the young lady's housekeeper can be pushed back. up.

At this moment, Shen Qingzi is in the old man's Qinghui garden. She went to ask for her in the morning, but the news from the old man's side spread quickly. It seems that the old man also knew about the second lady looking for her. He called Shen Qingzi over again.

Mrs. Shen loves fishing, and there is a fish pond in Qinghui Garden. At this time, he is sitting by the fish pond and fishing quietly.After Shen Qingzi arrived, she stood quietly beside Old Mrs. Shen without making a sound or urging her.

"The fish is on the bait!" Suddenly, when the fishing rod was moved, Mrs. Shen said happily, and also put away the fishing line.A big fat carp was hooked, and it was thumping violently when it left the water.Mrs. Shen only threw the hooked fish into the water again, he just wanted to have fun, not the fish.

"Girl Qing, do you think Grandpa and I are messing around?" Old Mrs. Shen said after finishing everything.

Shen Qingzi shook her head and said with a smile: "This fish took the bait voluntarily, but Qingzi found out that the hooks of Grandpa are all straight!"

"Oh, I'm old, this is just for fun. Girl Qing, how are you doing at home these few days? Are you used to everything?" Old Mrs. Shen put down his fishing rod, and the old servant beside him stepped forward to take the things away. Put it away.Old Mrs. Shen got up together, and Shen Qingzi stepped forward to support the old man.

"Everything is fine. Grandpa called Qingzi to come here. Do you have any orders?" Shen Qingzi asked. In front of the old lady, she had a light appearance, neither pretending to be gentle nor restrained.

Old Mrs. Shen chuckled, and went back to the yard with Shen Qingzi's support. Although he said he didn't care about things, there were people watching from all over the house.The news about the second daughter-in-law going to embarrass Shen Qingzi has also reached his ears, and if someone inquires about it, he will know what's going on! "Girl Qing, it doesn't matter what other people say, you have to remember, you are the eldest lady of the Shen family, so don't be merciful, you should be taught a lesson, you know, anyone who refuses to accept it, tell grandpa, grandpa will help you out !"

Shen Qingzi was greatly surprised in her heart, she was really surprised by the kindness that Old Master Shen treated her. "Grandpa, Qingzi doesn't know anything, it's inevitable that she did something wrong, no one else's fault." Shen Qingzi said softly.

"It's okay, I can't be bullied anyway!" Old Master Shen said very dotingly, "You girl, you have been in the nunnery for a long time, and you are too kind. This will be Liu Guifei's birthday banquet soon. You just came back, I don't have much money, I called you here this time to give you something!"

Shen Qingzi was puzzled, when she entered the room, she saw a small box on the table, Mother Zhao was guarding the side, and when the old man and Shen Qingzi came back, she got out of the way.

"These are your grandma's dowry back then. After so many years, I left these, and let them go. You are the eldest granddaughter of the Shen family, so let these be your dowry!" Old Mrs. Shen said, gesturing to Zhao Mammy opened the box.

As soon as the small box was opened, Shen Qingzi couldn't help being stunned, it was a two-layered one, the upper layer was full of jewels and jade ornaments, all thrown together, for a moment she felt bright in front of her eyes, but she couldn't tell the details.The second layer is a thick stack of bank notes, judging by the thickness, there must be a lot.

"Grandpa, what are you doing, Qingzi just wants to stay by Grandpa's side, she doesn't want any of this!" Shen Qingzi said in a flustered tone.

"Stupid girl, don't think about how old you are. This woman is the head of the house. These are your grandmother's old things, and they should be passed on to you!" Old Mrs. Shen took it for granted, and also patted the back of Shen Qingzi's hand, signaling her Accept it with peace of mind. "There is one more thing for you, it will be Concubine Liu Gui's birthday banquet soon, you girl will definitely not have anything to offer, Mother Zhao, give that white jade Guanyin statue to girl Qing!" Old Master Shen said again.

"Grandfather..." Shen Qingzi's tone was a little choked, she couldn't imagine why, if old master Shen loved this granddaughter, why could he tolerate her granddaughter living in Biyun Nunnery for 13 years; but if she didn't love her, How could this be done?
"Silly girl, it's because grandpa didn't bring you back soon, so you've been wronged!" Old Mrs. Shen sighed, but the girl's features were exactly the same as those of his deceased wife. This is the son of the Shen family. Granddaughter, it was Yan'er who scolded him in the sky for being an idiot, and asked him to love Qing girl even more!
Shen Qingzi was very puzzled, with deep doubts in her heart, and soon, Mother Zhao took out the white jade Guanyin statue.This white jade Avalokitesvara statue is not big, but it is extraordinarily delicate, the white jade is bright in color, Avalokitesvara has a kind face, and the lotus petals of the lotus under the seat are carved vividly.Seeing this, Shen Qingzi felt that Old Master Shen not only pampered herself, but pampered her for life!I couldn't help thinking about all the possibilities in my mind, I just remembered that when they came back, they said that her eyebrows were very similar to the deceased Mrs. Shen, could it be such a coincidence? "Grandpa, granddaughter... granddaughter doesn't know how to thank grandpa!" Shen Qingzi's voice was choked up, her beautiful eyes sparkled, as if she was about to shed tears.

"You're a big girl, and you still cry so much. You deserve it. In short, whoever dares to bully you in this family will have trouble with my old lady. Qiuyue, if anyone bullies the eldest lady in the future, you will be with me." Tell me, do you know?" Seeing that Shen Qingzi was about to cry, Old Master Shen hurriedly said with a straight face.

"My maidservant listens closely to the old master's instructions!" Qiuyue on the side said hurriedly.
