Chapter 453 Jin She Loves Talent (24)
Afterwards, Mrs. Shen just stared quietly as Shen Yueying kept complaining there.
Sometimes, she actually wanted to yawn, but she didn't want Shen Yueying to notice that her attitude was too perfunctory.
After all, this "daughter" is still useful at the moment.
Just at this moment, she caught a glimpse of Shen Yueying's face beneath the veil.
Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, and then looked at the housekeeper standing next to her.
After all, they were master and servant who had been together for many years. They could see through each other's thoughts with just a glance - this disfigurement really affected the selling appearance! In this case, I'm afraid the "price" would have to be lowered! It was really unlucky!
Seeing that Madam Shen remained silent and just drank tea leisurely, Shen Yueying suddenly felt an indescribable sense of grievance in her heart: "Mother, please give me some advice. What should I do now?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen accidentally said the truth in her heart: "Then just find someone to marry her off as soon as possible!"
However, having said it, she did not seem too anxious.
Madam Shen took a breath and continued, "Yingying, your marriage with the Duke of Chu has been planned for many years. Now that you are getting older, you should know that what the capital lacks most is women from aristocratic families who are of marriageable age.
The reason why your mother wants you to get married early is because she has good intentions for you. You wouldn't just find an older man and become his second wife, would you?
If you don’t have some ability, you probably won’t even be able to step into a mansion like that!”
Although Mrs. Shen's words were quite blunt, if you think about it carefully, they do make sense.
Shen Yueying felt sad after hearing what her mother said.
She understood her mother's concerns, but she didn't want to marry casually, and she already had someone she loved.
Her lover is a talented man. He will definitely get the top score in the imperial examination and then come to marry her in a grand manner.
Looking at Shen Yueying's longing expression, combined with the news she got from the other party's maid, Mrs. Shen instantly felt disgusted. She was not going to be a good Duke's wife.
She actually wanted to marry the scholar who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
The man from the Chu family was countless generations ahead of these people since he was born.
Those people may not be able to complete this journey even after three generations, but Chu Yunfan was already standing at the end when he was born. He was really short-sighted.
"Master!" The housekeeper reminded. After all, Mrs. Shen's resentment was about to "materialize" at this moment.
It was just that Shen Yueying was still immersed in thoughts of missing her lover, so she didn't notice it.
"Yingying, I'm tired, you go down first!" Mrs. Shen didn't want to stay under the same roof with the other party anymore, otherwise she was afraid that she would lose her composure, so she ordered her to leave.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yueying did not stand up, but said in a somewhat coy tone: "Mother, I know you are on good terms with the nobles in the palace, I wonder if you can ask for some white jade scar removal cream for me."
When she had almost finished speaking, Shen Yueying finally told her the purpose of coming to see Mrs. Shen today.
"This kind of ointment is available in fixed quantities. If the Imperial Hospital doesn't have it, you'll have to wait." Mrs. Shen naturally understood why Shen Yueying wanted that kind of ointment, but she didn't want to oblige her and wanted to temper Shen Yueying's arrogance.
Shen Yueying couldn't help but shrink unconsciously after hearing this, and said awkwardly: "The Imperial Hospital originally had it, but Chu Yunfan was one step ahead of me and took it away first.
I just went to Chu's house and wanted him to take out the ointment, but he just didn't agree! I don't want to endure his cold words anymore, mother, please help me! "
That's it!
Mrs. Shen was somewhat surprised to hear this. She didn't expect that Chu Yunfan would be able to reject Shen Yueying. Was he playing hard to get?
"Why don't you go and ask twice more?" Mrs. Shen suggested, "Maybe he just wants to persuade you, and after you visit him three times, he will give it to you."
"Of course I know what he's thinking?" Shen Yueying snorted arrogantly, "But I just don't want to give him this face."
Mrs. Shen nodded: "Okay! Then continue to be ugly! I don't have any other way."
After saying that, she asked the housekeeper to see the guests off. She wanted to go back to the inner room to lie down for a while, as she felt like she would feel bloated after eating several pig's trotters in a row, so she asked her to take it easy.
Seeing that her mother "won't help" her, Shen Yueying had no other choice but to continue to stomp her feet to express her anger.
However, after this incident, she forgot about pleading for Yuqiao and went back to her yard angrily.
Chu Yunfan, who she thought was playing hard to get, was currently in the restaurant, listening to a student's "long talk".
In fact, rather than saying that it was a discussion of academic matters, it would be more accurate to say that the guy named "Xu Wenyang" was just showing off his academic matters unilaterally.
He gave a pair and asked other students to match it.
