Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.
Chapter 76: Unpleasantness (2)
Old Mrs. Shen was in a good mood when she saw Cheng Jinchu, and she waved to Cheng Jinchu.
"Come on, little girl Yi, come to grandma!"
With a sweet smile on his face, Cheng Jinchu walked over and stood beside the old lady.
The old lady took Cheng Jinchu's hand and patted the back of her hand gently.
"As for me! As soon as I saw this girl when I came back, I liked her so much. She is indeed my daughter, Yun'er. She looks like a fairy. Could it be that the fairy has reincarnated into my granddaughter? I am blessed by God."
The old lady's eyes narrowed as she laughed.
There are not many people in the old lady's room today. In the past, the house was filled with daughters-in-law and granddaughters, but today, there are only three daughters-in-law here.
"The old lady is blessed with great fortune. I think she is favored by God. She gave birth to good-looking people like Third Uncle and Sister. But Yi girl, it is because of Third Uncle that she has such a good appearance. In the end, it is all thanks to the old lady."
Hearing the old lady praising Cheng Jinchu, Yu spoke appropriately to please the old lady. Although she had not received much education and could not say anything more pleasant and elegant, her words were suitable for the old lady to hear. She could understand them and found them pleasing to the ear.
"Your mother is pregnant with your younger brother. It would be nice if he could look like you."
Old Mrs. Shen patted Cheng Jinchu's hand again. When Sun Manman heard that the old lady was talking about herself, she quickly pretended to be shy, lowered her head, and spoke shyly.
"Mother-in-law, I'm not worried about this at all. My husband's previous children all looked like him and were good-looking. Naturally, mine won't be bad either."
Old Mrs. Shen was happy to hear others praising her son. She actually didn't like Sun Manman very much. To be honest, before the marriage, the old lady did hear some bad news, so she went out a few months ago, saying that she was not feeling well and went to worship Buddha. In fact, she went back to her hometown. She was not present at the wedding of Shen Yun and Sun Manman.
Of course, her dislike for Sun Manman did not affect her love for the baby in Sun Manman's belly. When she heard that it was a son, she was even happier, because her family had only one son until now, and he died at a very young age. It was heartbreaking to talk about it!
"By the way, girl Yi, are you going out to see the lantern festival tonight?"
Cheng Jinchu nodded.
"My cousin said he would pick me up when he's ready. I'm going out with my cousins!"
"Well...your cousin is a good person. Go out with him and have fun. Grandmother will assign more people to follow you. You have two girls. Your cousin is not in good health. Don't play for too long. Come back early."
"Okay, grandma, I will take good care of my cousins, don't worry!"
Seeing Cheng Jinchu's confident promise really amused the old lady, and she laughed out loud.
"You, you naughty boy, you are so small and yet you are here to protect others. Great! Our girl Yi is also very capable. She can protect her cousin brother and cousin sister. Well... Grandma is very relieved and has entrusted the two people to your protection!"
Cheng Jinchu nodded happily.
"Yes! Grandma, I will never let you down. I will be fine and stay with my cousins all the time to protect them."
"Your cousin is coming to pick you up, why are you here at grandma's place?"
Cheng Jinchu pouted, sighed, knelt beside Old Lady Shen, and hugged the old lady's waist and acted coquettishly.
"Grandma, I read a storybook and I felt very angry and sad. I want to talk to you."
Old Mrs. Shen actually liked her granddaughter's coquettish behavior. She stretched out her finger and tapped Cheng Jinchu's forehead.
"You! Reading so many storybooks hurts your eyes. Besides, those stories are all fake. Why are you so sad?"
Cheng Jinchu leaned his head in the old lady's arms and said sullenly.
"It's just sad. I put myself in the story and felt that the person in the story was really pitiful."
Old Mrs. Shen touched Cheng Jinchu's head lovingly.
"Then tell grandma, what kind of story made my girl unhappy?"
Cheng Jinchu pouted and looked up at the old lady, with tears in her eyes.
"Grandma, I, I just can't understand how there can be such a person in the world. And I came to you to tell you because I have my considerations."
The old lady smiled.
"Any other considerations? Hmm?"
Cheng Jinchu looked at the old lady and said seriously.
"Of course, of course, grandma, your life experience and wisdom are unmatched in the entire Shen family, so, my granddaughter is thinking, if I encounter something in the storybook in the future, I want to hear more of your opinion."
Old Mrs. Shen felt that what Cheng Jinchu said made sense, and she was happy to give her granddaughter some guidance.
"Well... you kids are young after all, and you haven't experienced many things. When you encounter something, you tend to panic and don't know what to do. Before you get married, all your grandmother can do is teach you how to deal with things. Go, call all the young ladies to listen carefully. It's not a bad thing to listen more!"
Zhou and Yu quickly told their maids to call the young ladies in their respective rooms.
Sun Manman didn't need to call anyone, because apart from the fourth daughter who was meditating in the Buddhist temple, only the fifth daughter Cheng Jinchu was in the Shen Mansion. The first three daughters had married long ago, when Shen Yun was not yet in the imperial capital.
The Sixth Miss and the Seventh Miss were both raised on the farm, just like Shen Jinyi before.
However, they all lived in the farm closest to the imperial capital. During this year's Spring Festival, because the Sixth Miss caught a cold and became seriously ill, the Seventh Miss was taking care of her. Shen Yun was afraid that the disease would be passed on to others, so he did not let them come back.
The eldest wife, Shen Hao, and Zhou had only one daughter, the eldest daughter, Shen Yan. She had been married a long time ago. When they were in Pingcheng, the eldest son-in-law was also the son of a merchant family, and he was the only son. Shen Yan gave birth to three sons, and they lived a good life.
The second daughter of the eldest wife was born to a concubine, who was later brought into the mansion to be a concubine. Meanwhile, the fifth daughter was also born to this concubine.
Although the mother of the third girl, Shen Yuning, was a courtesan, she sold her art instead of her body, and she was exceptionally beautiful. Shen Yuning looked very much like her mother, and Shen Hao particularly liked this concubine, so Shen Hao directly asked Zhou to recognize Shen Yuning as his own daughter and make her his legitimate daughter.
The fourth girl's mother was another concubine of Shen Hao, and Shen Hao's only son was born to this concubine. He was also registered under Zhou's name and was a legitimate son.
The situation of Shen An, the second wife, seems a little simpler. He has no concubines and only one legal wife, Yu. But he also has mistresses.
Ok…
more than one.
However, all the concubines' daughters were raised by Yu's side. Currently, only two concubines gave birth to a daughter each, namely the fourth and fifth daughters of the second room.
Unlike Zhou, Yu did not quarrel with her husband. She had no need to do so. The eldest son was born to her. In addition, her two daughters were both good-looking. She hired people to teach them manners and how to read, and brought them up carefully.
As for those concubines who were kept by her side, she could also give them the status of legitimate daughters. After all, she would not suffer any loss.
Yu was particularly good at doing superficial things. Not only was the daughter she raised and educated grateful to her, but her actions also made Shen An feel comfortable. When the girl grew up, he could give her a little dowry and marry her off. Who knows, these people might be able to help his daughter in the future.
