Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 14 To please grandmother (1)

Shen Yuechen raised her forehead slightly, stepped over the threshold with her skirt lifted, and heard a clear and cold voice from inside saying, "What is she doing here?" His tone was full of disdain.

Shen Yuechen pretended not to hear about it, walked into the room slowly, looked up and saw Mrs. Xiao and her two daughters sitting on the brocade bench next to Luohan's bed talking with the old lady, while the two aunts of the second room were standing on both sides, holding Silk fans, instead of the maids, personally fan the old lady.

After Shen Yuechen came in, the talking and laughing in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes could not help but fall on her, but she remained calm and knelt down to give the old lady a blessing, and said in a soft voice: "Grandmother Yuechen please come gone."

The old lady was a little surprised when she saw her pleasing attire. When she took a closer look, she found that her face was covered with a touch of makeup, which made her skin white as jade, her eyes were like morning stars, and her frown and smile were particularly vivid. .

The old lady lost her mind for a while, and then raised her hand, motioning for her to stand up and speak, "This material suits you well."

"Thank you for your kindness, grandma." Shen Yuechen raised his head slowly, looked at the old lady's face, and said with a curled mouth: "This dress was delivered just now, and the style is very beautiful, so I thought of putting it on as soon as possible. You see..."

Shen Yuechen smiled sweetly at the old lady, her eyes full of smiles were as bright as morning stars, which made people feel comfortable when they saw it.

The old lady's mind moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and said in a flat tone: "It's better to dress up for girls. Now you are fifteen, be a good person, and don't always be plain in the future. "

According to the custom in ancient times, once a girl reaches the age of 15, she has to tie her hair and put a hairpin in it, and then she will officially become an adult.

Looking at Shen Yuechen who was completely different from usual, and listening to the old lady's words, Xiao's expression changed and then returned to normal, but the smile on his face was much less. "It's true that people rely on clothes and gold clothes. The eldest girl is so dressed up that we almost can't recognize her."

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen smiled and bowed to her and Shen Zhijian, only to hear a clear and beautiful voice: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the eldest girl's complexion seems to have improved a lot."

The person who spoke was Shen Zhijian's concubine, Aunt Wan. She is 29 years old now, with a beautiful appearance and a slim figure. She is wearing a long satin dress with red embroidered hibiscus makeup and gold and silver.

Aunt Wan was born in a small family in the south of the Yangtze River. She has been in the mansion for many years and has always had a good relationship with Shen Zhijian. Moreover, she also gave birth to the eldest son Shen Mingyuan and the second son Shen Mingfang for him.

Although Xiao Shi is the main wife married by the Ming matchmaker, she has no children. She has only given birth to two daughters for Shen Zhijian over the years. Therefore, even though she hates Aunt Wan in her heart, she still insists on raising her two concubine sons by her side.

Every time Shen Yuechen sees Aunt Wan, she always has a smile on her face and a very kind look, making it impossible for people to see through her true thoughts.

Xiao Shi heard this, and said lightly: "Every day I eat and drink carefully, how can my complexion be bad?" Then, she raised a slightly displeased face, looked at Shen Yuechen and continued: "You've been growing well these past few days, and you look much better than before. It's finally not in vain for the old lady's painstaking efforts."

Shen Yuechen didn't care what he said, with a gentle smile, and said softly: "Grandma loves me so much, so I naturally want to grow up for grandma. I haven't been filial since I came back, so I want to Come here every day to say hello to grandma, so that I can show my filial piety."

Looking at the eldest granddaughter who wanted to please her and had a cute face, the old lady was actually quite happy, her heart softened, she felt a little close to her, and she didn't refuse her, saying: "Come if you want, I'm always bored." It’s not necessarily good in the yard.”

Xiao Shi was beside her, and she couldn't help frowning when she heard this. She didn't understand why Shen Yuechen suddenly changed his temper today, and became so attentive. The status of the family will definitely improve, and she is still the eldest daughter, and she is a direct descendant...
