Chapter 40 - Hu\\\'s
Bai Chu originally thought that the three girls brought by Shen Ming and his wife Hu were their daughters, but only when they were introduced did they know that the two younger girls, Shen Fu and Shen Rong, were indeed born by Hu. , the two young ladies born directly.
Among them, the girl with the most delicate figure and the most outstanding appearance is named Hu Manrou, the niece of Hu’s family. Because her biological mother died young, she was brought by Hu’s side and raised at a young age. Girls are no different.
Bai Chu casually glanced at the girl Hu, she was slender and moving, more charming than her name, her eyebrows were frowning rather than frowning, her eyes were full of tears, her eyes were full of autumn water, her nose was small and her mouth was small. It’s lovable, but it doesn’t have the slightest pretentious attitude, and it makes people look at it and praise it as “excellent rules”.
It was even rarer that a foreigner was in Shen Ming’s family and could not see the slightest sense of disobedience. The Hu family loved and cared for her, and the two younger sisters also relied on closeness. Bai Chu looked at her coldly, as if Miss Hu was stepping into Shen Ming for the first time. The government deliberately restrained, and when Hu Shi introduced him, he just said hello to his body and did not do any extra actions. It was obvious that he was a very smart person.
When Bai Chu and Shen Yuzhi talked about Hu Manrou on the way back from the old lady’s place, he didn’t remember him at all, and said blankly, “Who is this?”
Seeing this, Bai Chu smiled and said no more.
…
The next day, when Bai Chu went to greet the eldest princess, he happened to meet Hu and others.
Hu Shi looked at the appearance of being more than ten years older than the eldest princess, with a round face and a bright smile, and looked at the rich and amiable: “This is your newly married daughter-in-law, right? Sure enough, she looks virtuous. Human, I can’t blame you for liking it so much.”
The eldest princess smiled and said: “You are still lucky, and you will be able to hold your grandson in a few months.”
Hu’s eldest son is already married. Because he was pregnant, he was afraid that he would be injured by the fatigue on the road, so he did not follow him this time.
“My daughter-in-law is a small family, but her good-natured temperament can still be praised, and she can’t make it into a classy hall.” Hu said with a smile, and his words were quite polite, “It’s just my own family, and being a daughter for so many years is usually painful. , the love is rare, I also want her to be obedient and filial, and to get along with Meimei, I have no other expectations.”
“You don’t lack caring people. It’s best to have two daughters under your knees to accompany you to warm your heart.” The eldest princess chuckled, “I only gave birth to three boys, and I didn’t think so before my daughter-in-law came in. I really tasted the kindness of the girls.”
“Where?” Hu looked sideways at the two sisters Shen Fu and Shen Rong, full of love and resentment, “The girls in the other family are warm-hearted little padded jackets, these two in my family are like little magic stars, and they have been loved by them since childhood. My father and brother are used to it, and when something happens, he turns his head and acts like a spoiled child. He is so big, I can’t say it, and I can’t scold it.”
“Fortunately, Manrou is by my side, this child is gentle and demure, Shuhui and smart, it is rare to be able to control these two arrogant girls, and finally solve a problem I have in mind, no, I can’t bear to let her father urge me. Let her go home.”
Hu shi smiled and pulled Hu Manrou to his side, patted her hand, unable to hide the intimacy in her demeanor and words.
Hu Manrou lowered her head slightly shyly, the hidden gentleness between her brows and her eyes was like a spring breeze turning into rain. If the man standing in front of her was a man, her heart would have to follow.
“Aunt is too famous, and Man Rou dare not be.”
The eldest princess looked up at the two of them and smiled slightly: “Since you like it, stay by your side. I heard that your youngest son is not married yet?”
Hu Shi’s expression full of smiles froze for a moment, and then he resumed his earnest smile: “What the eldest princess said, I thought so too, although my youngest son is three years younger than Manrou, But as the saying goes, ‘the third female junior holds gold bricks’, Man Roude Rong Yan is excellent in everything, and I still earned it.”
“But these two children didn’t have a good fate. To be honest with the eldest princess, I went to the Buddhist temple with their birthdays and asked the master to do the math. It’s the best numerology, even if they are siblings and relatives. If they form a husband and wife, they will hinder each other.”
Hu Shi sighed helplessly: “How can I be willing!”
Bai Chu watched Hu Shi’s singing, reciting and fighting, and next to Hu Manrou holding the venue and handing over the handkerchief, his eyes were slightly red. She lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes. Now that’s all right, she can be sure that Hu Manrou is coming for which young master of the Shen residence.
Shen Yuzhi was already married, and Hu’s spending so much time obviously not only wanted to send his niece to be a concubine, but as the son of the eldest princess, Shen Yuezhi would not fall into a family like Hu Manrou’s family, but Shen Jingzhi was a continuation, The eldest princess has the heart to choose the lowest-ranked girl for him, but someone like Hu Manrou, who is not even a capital official, should still not be in her eyes, right?
Bai Chu’s eyes fell on Hu Manrou without a trace. After she handed the handkerchief to the Hu family, she took a step back and carefully comforted the somewhat uneasy sisters Shen Fu and Shen Rong.
The eldest princess didn’t know if she saw her intentions, so she replied with a light smile: “Children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren.” I won’t go any further on this topic.
Hu Shi probably didn’t want to make it too obvious. He logically talked about the interesting stories of his children when they were young, and the atmosphere was even harmonious for a while.
Bai Chu originally thought that he was there to accompany him to watch the show, but he didn’t expect that Hu Manrou, Shen Fu and Shen Rong would specially come to visit her in Wutongyuan in the afternoon, and also brought a few embroidered handkerchiefs, kits, etc. Small objects, from the point of view of heart, are very sincere.
Nai He Bai Chu was a layman, so he only picked some beautiful and beautiful hairpin rings as a return gift. Shen Furong and Shen Rong are twin sisters, who are very similar in appearance but very different in temperament. Shen Fu’s demeanor was charming and innocent; Shen Rong’s eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and she smiled silently.
This pair of sisters seems to be the opposite, the older sister is lively and the younger sister is quiet.
Bai Chu picked out a pair of gem-encrusted flower and butterfly heavy jade hairpins for them, Shen Fu’s eyes widened, and she happily took it on the spot: “Thank you Third Sister-in-law!”
Shen Rong also liked it very much when she saw the expression, she took it with both hands carefully, her eyes gleamed with joy, and she said in a low voice, “Rong’er thanked the third sister-in-law.”
In comparison, what Hu Manrou received was the most precious red gold and silk inlaid tourmaline flying luan hairpin, which was given by the eldest princess when Shen Yuzhi first rested in Wutongyuan. No matter how precious and beautiful it was, it became an eyesore in Bai Chu’s eyes. He simply used it to test Hu Manrou.
Such luxurious jewelry is like a constant poison for women to quit.
Hu Manrou was stunned for a while, feeling the burning eyes of Sister Furong beside her, and then she closed the brocade box containing the flying hairpins, and said softly, “Sister-in-law, this, this is too precious, so I will take it. It’s not that my temperament can support it, it’s best to keep this hairpin by your side, otherwise it would be a pity to bury it.”
Listening to her no, next to Shen Fu opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Hu Man gently pulled her back, and then she rested her aura.
“Second aunt said that I will treat you as my own daughter, and I will naturally treat you as my own sister.” Bai Chu smiled and said, “I heard Second aunt accidentally mention that Miss Hu’s biological mother passed away early, and it reminds me of myself, which is inevitable. Feelings, you can keep it, the right is my heart.”
Hu Manrou couldn’t shirk, she held the brocade box under Shen Fu’s eager eyes, her gentle smile was vaguely reluctant, and then she turned into a grateful expression: “It was because of this story that I took the liberty, thank you Third sister-in-law, Man Rou Ming feels five senses.”
Between her slender fingers, she twitched the plain white silk handkerchiefly: “Man Rou is new here, and she and her two younger sisters are very unfamiliar with the mansion, and she doesn’t dare to walk around and collide with the elders, lest she accidentally cause trouble… I don’t know. Can I come to the third sister-in-law to harass me?”
Bai Chu smiled and said, “I’m lazy, and I’m the most boring on weekdays. You guys are just young, so why waste it in the house with me? Why don’t I tell my mother, let the second uncle and the second one when you are free? Auntie and you brothers and sisters, wandering around in the capital?” She frowned a little regretfully, “If it wasn’t for the fact that my husband is the birthday star, grandmother and mother are watching him closely, there is no need to trouble others.”
Shen Furong and Shen Rong looked at each other curiously, and they were quite moved: “I heard that the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, is the third sister-in-law true?”
“It’s natural,” Bai Chu looked over with a smile, “It’s just that although it is prosperous, the people who come and go are complicated and difficult to distinguish. Although there is no need to worry about safety, you are afraid that you will bump into some noble person who is not well-dressed, especially in the downtown area. There are several places in the center where people can’t get in and out, so it’s clean and safe.”
Shen Fu and Shen Rong’s face glowed with an excited figure, but Hu Manrou had hidden worries, and refused embarrassingly: “On the way here, my uncle said that this time I should do my filial piety in front of the old lady and listen to Uncle Shen’s instructions. It’s better not to disturb the elders to reminisce.”
Bai Chu gave her a thoughtful look and smiled, “Miss Hu is really thoughtful, no wonder Second Aunt likes you so much.” She looked at Hu Manrou’s shyly bowing her head, and suddenly asked curiously, “Listen to Second Aunt, take you I had a relationship with the cousin of the second uncle’s family, but unfortunately it stopped on the birth date, is it true?”
Hu Manrou’s face turned pale in an instant, and Shen Fu, who was closer than her bold shot, was the first to interject: “Of course it’s true, after the news came, the second brother was very sad and almost fell ill! “
Shen Rong pulled her sister’s hand embarrassedly, Shen Fu closed her mouth after realizing it, and mumbled with some guilty conscience: “Anyway, third sister-in-law is not an outsider.”
Bai Chu looked at Hu Manrou and sighed with pity: “It’s a pity. In fact, this birthday is not necessarily completely accurate. Otherwise, I will tell my mother, and my mother will persuade the second aunt.”
“No need,” Hu Manrou hurriedly replied, Qiushui’s eyes were fixed, and tears were slightly raised, “My aunt is very affectionate to me, and I don’t want to make her embarrassed. Thank you third sister-in-law, but the past is like smoke, and this is just a matter of laughter. Son, not serious.”
