The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 135 Father Shen Arrives in Beijing

Yu Nan, who was playing crisscross with Wei Jie'er, couldn't help but glance at Wei Jie'er secretly. Seeing that Wei Jie'er's brows were light and her expression was happy, she knew that she was teasing her brother.

"What's wrong, Kang'er? Seeing you look like this, what do you have to say to our sister?"

Yu Nan blinked and motioned Kang Ge'er to look at the fruit tea on the table.

Kang Ge'er understood and quietly bowed to Yu Nan behind Wei Jie'er to express his gratitude.

Then he poured a cup of tea himself and stood next to Sister Wei in a funny manner.

"Miss Shen, are you done with your work? I'll pour you some tea. Would you be so kind as to try this freshly brewed fruit tea?"

Sister Wei was sitting upright, just finishing up. Seeing her cousin like this was really strange.

"What's wrong with cousin today? He's so shy. Has he really changed?"

After taking the tea, Sister Wei took a sip and looked at Brother Kang with some curiosity.

Just as he was about to say it, Kang Ge'er felt a little embarrassed, and his face turned red.

"You said this afternoon that I was completely different, but were you serious? Or were you just using me as a scapegoat?"

Sister Wei was stunned. She didn't expect that her cousin still cared about this matter.

Everyone nearby pricked up their ears to listen. It was because Kang Ge'er had changed. This was a strange thing, and they wanted to listen too.

Sister Wei suddenly realized what this meant and did not hide it.

"Of course I'm serious. Although my cousin was a little naughty in front of Master Cheng, he looks very energetic."

Looking at Kang Ge'er's serious expression

"My cousin used to be so lazy, but now he walks with an upright posture and moves like the wind. He can even quote from classics in class. Even if he doesn't quote correctly, at least he knows a lot of them. Even Master Cheng said that my cousin has the appearance of a gentleman now..."

"real?!"

Kang Ge'er jumped up excitedly. Did the Master really say that?

"Cousin, you didn't lie to me, did the teacher really praise me like that?"

Sister Wei pushed him away with some disgust. Her cousin had just knocked over the teacup and was grabbing her sleeve now. She must not let him rub against her.

"Really, really, I'm not lying to you."

Seeing her cousin like this, Sister Wei swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She didn't finish her words. Master Cheng's original words were: He has the appearance of a gentleman but not the demeanor of a gentleman.

Kang Ge'er's eyes were shining, and Song Shengfu thought they looked very much like the eyes of the wise dog she had seen before.

"Really? Really!"

Kang Ge'er walked back and forth excitedly, circling in the hall. Seeing Xuan Ge'er's eyes were a little blurry, he quickly turned his head and grabbed some chestnut cake to eat.

Hehe, Kang Ge'er was excited at this moment. Fourth Uncle and Xiaoliu had also said that he had changed before.

Now that his cousin also said this, Kang Ge'er felt his chest warm. This made him feel more comfortable than before when everyone agreed with him.

In the past, his grandmother and everyone else gave in to him, and he had everything he wanted, but he always felt like something was missing.

Now the emptiness in my heart seems to be suddenly filled.

Song Shengfu looked at Kang Ge'er's little face, which was flushed with excitement, and felt a little relieved and sad.

Duan Chengkang finally lived up to everyone's expectations. Seeing his excitement at being recognized, Song Shengfu was also happy.

Seeing this, Song Shengfu felt relieved. She had both a good teacher and a helpful friend behind her. If she still couldn't learn well, it would be because her ancestors were not helpful, and she deserved it!

She had done everything she could, and the rest was up to fate. The incense burning in the ancestral hall every day was not meant to feed the people below.

Wei Jie'er's eyes were smiling, but there were some unclear factors. She had a younger brother who was still a child. Her father's family was small, and few had achieved anything.

My mother's family seems to be prosperous, but it is also declining, and it all depends on my cousin.

Everyone in this mansion hopes that her cousin will become successful, and she is no exception.

Even if her cousin is not ambitious, he is good at maintaining the status quo, which is good news for her and her younger brother.

After all, a powerful cousin will be of great benefit to my future career.

After the afternoon break, the children were waiting for a table full of cold drinks, which Song Shengfu had prepared based on her experience eating in her previous life.

On the table were various fruits served in glazed golden cups, as well as purple rice, jade beans, jelly, and glutinous rice balls.

"Grandma, this way of eating is really elegant. Look at the colorful combination of the cut fruits. It's quite interesting."

Sister Wei praised the fruit salad she had paired with her

Kang Ge'er took a sleepy glance at it and then swallowed a big mouthful.

What's so elegant about it? Isn't it just food?

Kang Ge'er looked at it and said, "It's just a few fruits put together. What's so good about it?"

Wei Jie'er ignored the idiot. After all, in his eyes, the famous paintings of Qi family were nothing more than blobs of ink. He didn't understand, so she didn't bother with him.

Xuan Ge'er was standing on a stool trying hard to reach the brown sugar on the side. It tastes better when it's sweet.

My sister is now more stable. She used to be so angry with my brother that she would have to argue with him, but now she just ignores him.

Reading is good. His brother and sister have changed a lot. He should also read more.

My sister said that there is gold and good fortune in the book, so how can there be such a simple reward in this world?

Xuan Ge'er's little head was full of doubts. He thought that reading a few books could not only help him learn a lot of things, but also help him earn money.

Reading is such a simple thing. He used to think that books were bad things because he saw his brother look painful when he mentioned books.

Now it seems that his brother did not see the joy of reading. He will slowly tell his brother how interesting reading is in the future.

Kang Ge'er, who was eating and drinking heartily, had no idea that his future days would become even more miserable, and all this was caused by his favorite cousin.

At this time, someone outside came in and Su Xia came in with a letter.

Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy. "Madam, there's a letter from my third uncle."

When Song Shengfu heard this, she stopped immediately and took the letter from Su Xia with clean hands.

Sister Wei, who was standing by, lost her composure and her spoon hit the cup, making a "ding" sound.

A letter from my father!

Song Shengfu opened the letter and read it roughly. Looking at Sister Wei holding Xuan Ge'er's hand and looking at them eagerly, her heart softened.

He patted Sister Wei'er's head and said, "Sister Wei, your father will arrive in the capital in about ten days."

When Sister Wei heard this, her mouth opened wide with joy.

Xuan Ge'er was happy too, and he was also happy when his sister was happy. Thinking of his father in his memory, he could hardly remember him.

Song Shengfu looked at the two children and felt a little guilty. Which child doesn't want to follow their parents?

Thinking back to my memory, Mr. Shen eventually married Ji, but unfortunately he was too stingy and not good for his two children.

Otherwise, he could slowly find a good wife. She selfishly didn't want Shen Xianli to remarry, otherwise the two children would have a stepmother.

But there are too many restrictions in this era, especially for women.

It is difficult for a motherless daughter to marry, if there is no mistress to take charge of the family. With only her in-laws, Wei Jie'er will have a hard time in the future.

Ugh……

She was so worried. She just let go of one and now another one comes.

When will it end?

Song Shengfu felt a little melancholy and her mood became a little depressed.

When the others saw this, they thought that the old lady was probably missing her third aunt, which was why she was so sad.
