There is a shrew in the family: the story of the development of the first assistant

Chapter 161 For
According to the old custom, the grandchildren of the family must be informed of such a big event as the number one scholar in the examination.

Early in the morning, the whole family arrived at the Yu Family Ancestral Hall after breakfast.

The only elder, Wang Fenglian, led everyone to kowtow three times to the ancestors to show the respect of the younger generations to the ancestors.

"My ancestors, our Yu family has a number one scholar, who can be said to be a glorious ancestor. Today, I, an old woman, brought the whole family to tell you." Wang Fenglian looked at the rankings and said very proudly.

After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Yu Luoshu next to her, motioning him to take a step forward to speak.

Because of the difference in seniority, Yu Luoshu could only kneel behind Wang Fenglian. Before he could get up, he was interrupted by Wang Fenglian's words.

She gave Shen Tianqing a hard look, and said in a very dissatisfied tone, "Tianqing, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly move Luo Shu's kneeling mat forward, you really don't have any eyesight."

The ancestral hall is the most sacred place in the family, and no one should be allowed to desecrate it. Naturally, Shen Tianqing would not cause trouble here, so she hurriedly moved Yu Luoshu's kneeling mat forward.

Yu Luoshu originally thought that he would protect the kneeling mat and just move it around. How could he be willing to let his wife do this kind of work, but since Wang Fenglian was still watching, he could only give up.

He comforted Shen Tianqing in a low voice, for fear that she would be unhappy, "Daughter-in-law, you have suffered, and the place of the ancestral hall is not to cause trouble, so please take care of it."

"It's okay, mother is still watching, you go over and talk."

Shen Tianqing glanced at Wang Fenglian secretly, and found that she was still staring at him, so she had to quickly move the kneeling mat, and then returned to her seat.

At this moment, Yu Luoshu knelt at the front, and Wang Fenglian naturally stood there.

"I, Yu Luoshu, as the third eldest in the family, thanks to the care of my two elder brothers and my wife's encouragement, I will finally become the number one scholar in the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year, and I will go to the capital to take up a post in the near future. Luoshu will definitely live up to the expectations of your ancestors and serve us Yu Luoshu The family wins glory."

After all, Yu Luoshu kowtowed three more times, and the ceremony was considered to be over.

Wang Fenglian looked at her husband's memorial tablet, and sighed leisurely, "Husband, the third child of our family is the number one scholar, and he can go to the capital to become an official. It will be promising. You must be able to see it in the spirit of heaven."

She became a widow at a young age and never remarried. She raised three sons by herself, and one of them became the number one scholar in Chinese medicine.

Thinking of these things, she covered her face and sobbed, her voice so small that only the people around her could hear.

The close wife who took care of Wang Fenglian kept supporting her, knowing that she remembered the past again, so she couldn't help but feel sad again.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Fenglian wiped her face indiscriminately, and returned to her previous appearance.

She glanced at the junior kneeling on the ground, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Kowtow to your father, it can be regarded as fulfilling the filial piety of your children, and you can leave the ancestral hall after kowtow."

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

After hearing this, they kowtowed again, their faces very heavy.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Wang Fenglian stopped a person with a very bad attitude, "Tianqing, you can't leave yet, stay and clean the backyard, those fallen leaves are all over the ground, there is no room to walk gone."

Shen Tianqing didn't know what she did not do well enough, and she made her mother-in-law angry. So many people were looking at her, which made her feel very embarrassed, but she still responded, "Ah... alright."

Wang Fenglian put her hands on her hips, as if she was being reasonable and unforgiving, "Ah, what, I see that you are very reluctant. If you don't come to sweep the fallen leaves, why don't you let me, an old woman in her late teens, do it?"

"Mom, you're being too serious. My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to let you do the work. I'll just clean it."

This is simply relying on the old to sell the old, Shen Tianqing naturally wouldn't let her mother-in-law clean up the fallen leaves, but few people went there in the backyard, and there were servants to clean it on weekdays, so there was no need for her to be a daughter-in-law.

She knew that Wang Fenglian was still aiming at her blindly, and she couldn't avoid what should come after all, so she could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Yu Luoshu looked very angry at Wang Fenglian, and couldn't say anything due to filial piety, so he thought of secretly going to the backyard to help Shen Tianqing.

As the saying goes, ginger is still old and hot, how could Wang Fenglian not guess his little trick.

"No one is allowed to help her in the backyard, especially you, Luo Shu, do you hear me?"

"Mother, you can't let Tianqing clean such a big backyard by herself, it won't make you tired." Yu Luoshu retorted her, he really didn't want to watch his wife do this kind of drudgery thing.

Tired on Shen Tianqing's body, but painful on Yu Luoshu's heart!
"Sweeping the fallen leaves in the backyard will wear you out? When she was not married, she ate nothing but pig food, and she worked as hard as she could. After marrying into the Yu family, I served him delicious food and drink every day. Can't do any work?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Fenglian rolled her eyes at Shen Tianqing, flicked her sleeves and left here.

"Well done, well done." Shen Tianqing didn't want others to think that she was living a good life, so she was so pretentious that she couldn't work, so she asked Yu Luoshu to leave quickly.

"Luo Shu, don't make your mother unhappy anymore, you go back first, I'll go find you after I clean up the fallen leaves."

Yu Luoshu felt more and more that her mother was being unreasonable, why didn't she let the other two daughter-in-laws go to work, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was trying to target Shen Tianqing.

"Third brother, you just won the first prize in the examination, and the family is very happy. Mother must have been confused for a while, so she let the third sibling work, so don't make her angry."

Yu Shaoyang came over and tried to persuade Yu Luoshu in a strange way. What he said didn't sound good, but there was some truth in it, so Yu Luoshu could only listen to him.

At noon, Shen Tianqing was about to finish cleaning the fallen leaves in the backyard.

She wanted to go to the dining room for lunch, but found that there was nothing to eat. She asked the servants and found out that the family had already finished lunch.

Shen Tianqing sighed helplessly, "I didn't keep a bite of food, you really didn't treat me as a human being."

At this moment, Shen Tianqing heard a voice, "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, I'm here."

After searching around, he found that Yu Luoshu was hiding behind the door. Afraid of being seen by Wang Fenglian, he dragged Shen Tianqing to the kitchen secretly.

Shen Tianqing looked at him with some doubts, "Why are you dragging me to the kitchen?"

"Of course it's for eating. You've been so tired from working all morning. How can I bear to watch my daughter-in-law skip lunch?" Yu Luoshu opened the lid of the pot while talking, and there was steaming shredded chicken wonton inside. It smells mouthwatering.

"Look, the wontons I specially asked my sister-in-law to leave are still hot. You sit down first, and I'll get you a bowl."
