Chapter 208: Meeting the Gift
Chapter 208: Meeting the Gift
Yunli is dressed particularly formally today.
She wore a skirt made of Yuehua brocade, looking like an angel. She didn't have a complicated bun on her head, but two small buns on both sides, fixed with two pearl hairpins, and then wrapped with a gold-threaded beaded headband. If you look closely, you will find that the dozens of pearls are actually jade-white Hepu beads that are one-eighth the size of a pearl!
Her eyebrows were dark without any makeup, her eyes were big and round, her long eyelashes were slightly curled up, and every time she blinked, it seemed as if she swept across other people's hearts. Her nose was slightly straight, her nose was round, her nose was small, and she had peach lips.
The four words "national beauty and heavenly fragrance" suddenly brought to mind a picture.
Yunli stood at the main entrance of the Shen Mansion, looked up at the large plaque above, and couldn't help but be stunned.
If these things had not happened, the original body would have been an extremely qualified lady from a wealthy family, marrying her childhood sweetheart Liu Junming, who was supported by both sets of parents, and living a happy life together, right?
Pity.
"Yun'er, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly!"
Shen Xiuyang was a little puzzled and didn't know why his daughter was staring at the plaque in a daze.
Yunli glanced at him, then looked at the first and third wives who were waiting for her at the main entrance. Each of them had a smile on their face, but a trace of pity flashed in their eyes.
Except for Shen Xiuyang, no one from the second house showed up.
Yunli was not someone who cared about these things. She turned to look at the crowd, and after making sure that everyone appreciated her beauty and remembered her face, she entered the mansion with satisfaction.
The first thing to do is to go to Zhengde Hall to pay respects to the old lady and the old master.
Shen Xiuyang walked beside Yunli and muttered, "Just hold on to your grandmother's thighs tightly, and don't even listen to what your grandfather says. Remember, he has only one purpose, which is to ask him for money. But your father will do this, you don't have to show up."
"Ah."
Yunli felt that although this cheap father was a nagging person, he was still a nice person.
"As for your mother and brothers, they shall be considered dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, his three sons flashed out from the side road with complicated expressions and saluted, "Father, uncle, aunt, third uncle, and third aunt, are in good health."
Shen Xiuyang was not at all embarrassed by his own son catching him saying bad things about them. He snorted and said, "I thought you were dead in your bed, but you can still walk?"
"If my father doesn't love my mother, as a son, I must save some face for her."
Shen Qingheng was the most impatient. He immediately threw away his sleeves and took the lead on the road to Zhengde Hall.
The eldest brother Shen Qingyue and the second brother Shen Qingjun also hurriedly bowed again and chased after him.
The meaning is very clear. They don't want to argue with their father, but between their father and mother, they will definitely choose their mother.
Shen Xiuyang was so angry that he took a few deep breaths. Just as he was about to suppress his anger and comfort his daughter, his daughter patted his hands and consoled him, "Father, don't be too angry. The brothers just feel more sorry for mother. Father has me to take care of him. There's no need to bother with those juniors."
Shen Xiuyang felt warm in his heart and almost cried!
Since his mother gave up on him because of his plan to marry Xu, this was the first time that a female relative had firmly chosen him! He hummed with a nasal sound, looked up at the sky several times, and then led everyone to continue to Zhengde Hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Yunli saw a kind old lady and a serious old man sitting at the top. On the left, at the end, sat the conspicuous Bao Xu. At this moment, Xu's eyes were red, probably because she had just cried again.
Yunli didn't bother to pay attention to this crazy woman. She walked up to the old lady happily and bowed down. "Granddaughter greets grandma. May grandma be blessed with as much wealth as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains! May you be blessed with good fortune and may you always smile!"
"Good, good, good!" The first time Jiang saw Yunli, she thought the girl was really pretty! At her age, she had to eat and drink to maintain her health, so she only had some small hobbies left, such as teasing her children and grandchildren and looking at beautiful women.
It was just perfect that the new girl was not only her own granddaughter, but also a rare beauty in the capital!
The old lady is too lazy to care about the messy things in the past, which affect her mood and shorten her life!
But since this girl called her grandma and she loved her so much, she would have to protect her more in the future.
Thinking of this, she quickly waved to Yunli and asked her to sit down next to her, "Qingyun girl, right? She's so pretty, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life!"
The old lady saw from the corner of her eye that the old man still had a stern face, and couldn't help but look at him teasingly, "Old man, do you think so or not?"
"I never paid attention to the girl's appearance." The old man said dryly, and then casually said to Yunli, "Since you have returned to our Shen family, you must learn the etiquette and rules of our Shen family."
This meant that Yunli had to pay her respects to him and Xu.
The old lady didn't refute anything. She dragged the girl to sit next to her for a while. It was indeed time for her to meet other elders.
She simply took off a bracelet from her hand and put it on Yunli's wrist. "When I saw this azure bracelet, I thought it would suit you. Now that I've taken a look at it, it's really beautiful! Go show it to your grandfather too."
Yunli walked up to Shen Hongtai, knelt down and saluted, "Qingyun greets Old Master Shen."
Shen Hongtai waited for a long time, but nothing came of it. Yunli knelt for a while and got impatient. She stood up and looked closer at Shen Hongtai, saying loudly, "Grandpa, Qingyun spoke too softly. Didn't you hear me?"
The old man then realized that this bad girl was blatantly treating people differently!
Fortunately, he had been immersed in the court for many years and never showed his emotions, so he was not angry to death by his own granddaughter!
How dare she?
How dare you be so rude to your grandfather!
Just as he was thinking about it, Yunli directly took the red envelope that he had placed on the table and said, "Thank you for the reward, old man! Qingyun is extremely grateful!"
Good guy!
Was this just a direct grab?
The old man was about to say something when Jiang interrupted him with a smile, "Your grandfather is always distracted, so you don't have to worry about it. Go and meet your mother."
After receiving the chicken feather order, Yunli turned around and walked towards the last-placed Xu, and also knelt down to pay respect, "Qingyun greets Madam Xu."
This time, he didn't even wait, but directly got up from the ground and looked at the three young men behind Xu who were glaring at her, "Meet the eldest, fifth, and seventh young masters."
The three sons of the second wife are the eldest, the fifth, and the seventh among the grandchildren of the left prime minister.
