Chapter 96 Unwilling
The more Aunt Shen thinks about it, the more unwilling she is. What's good about that Ding page? No talent, no virtue, no face, no beauty, not even a finger of Yan'er, and she doesn't deserve to carry Yan'er shoes. But such a person actually squeezed Yaner down like this. How could she swallow it?
Master Hao took a deep look at Aunt Shen and said in a low voice, "What do you want?"
Hearing that Master Hao seemed to be a little angry, Aunt Shen panicked and didn't dare to say anything. At that moment, she was silent and stopped talking.
"Okay, you go out first. Find someone to take a look at the almanac and see if there are any good days in the last month. If so, let me know."
Master Hao leaned his back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and said faintly.
Aunt Shen was granted an amnesty and hurriedly answered, "Okay, I'll go and see."
Then he turned around and went out of the study, as if there was something terrible chasing behind him.
It has entered the end of August, and the weather is gradually getting colder, especially after sunset, people who are unwilling to go out.
After Aunt Shen came out of the study, the cold wind blew and she couldn't help shivering. Only then did she find that she had been sweating coldly.
Even if she has been with Mr. Hao for many years now, the master has almost never seen her face, but there is no doubt that the master's authority is unquestionable.
Aunt Shen went back to the courtyard where she lived with worry and indignation.
Xiaoju looked at Aunt Shen's ugly face, so she didn't dare to ask anything more and followed her without saying a word.
Shen's mother heard the little maid outside say that Aunt Shen was back, so she hurriedly greeted her. Under the dim yellow light, she still saw Aunt Shen's pale and ugly face at a glance.
Shen's mother immediately panicked and hurried forward to hold Aunt Shen's arm. She stared at Xiao Ju behind Aunt Shen fiercely, and didn't know how to hold her master.
Several people came into the room, and Shen's mother quickly ordered people to take the clothes and pour the tea.
Put on a robe and serve hot tea. Aunt Shen said tiredly, "Let's go out. I don't have to wait here."
Except for Shen's mother, everyone else went out.
There was no one else in the room. Shen's mother asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong with you? But the master is angry with you?"
Aunt Shen drank two sips of hot tea and warmed up a little. Then she sighed and hummed coldly, "How can the master make me angry? It's not for the little bitch on the page!"
Shen's mother was suspicious for a while, "What's it for her?"
Aunt Shen said, "Didn't I ask you to send a letter to my eldest brother a few days ago?"
Shen's mother nodded, and she also roughly knew what was said in the letter.
Aunt Shen continued, "I wanted my eldest brother to discuss with the Ding family. No matter what method is used, as long as they promised not to accept Hao's marriage proposal!" Unexpectedly, my eldest brother gave such an important thing to the stunned boy Han Song, and it was messed up. Now Hao Ling has known about this and has told the master that he is very angry.
Mother Shen was also panicked when she heard the words and quickly asked, "Then the master didn't involve this matter with your wife, did you? Can't I blame you?"
Aunt Shen glanced at her and said, "Do you think the master will doubt me? Originally, not many people knew about this marriage. If it hadn't been for what I said, how could Han Song have known it?
Mother Shen pounded her chest and said, "Oh... Master Biao Er is really! A good thing was messed up by him, and it also involved your wife. You were blamed by the master. What should you do now?
Aunt Shen sighed deeply and said, "The master said that the marriage should be done as soon as possible, so as to avoid having a lot of dreams. Let me see if there are any good days in this month recently. If there is, the marriage will be decided like this."
Shen's mother was surprised and said, "At least it's the young master of Hao's mansion to get married. How can there be such a simple and anxious reason? Isn't it a joke to people outside?
Aunt Shen shook her head and whispered, "This is what the master ordered. I must have figured it out. I have nothing to say. If it goes on, I'm afraid that the master will really blame me for that.
Shen's mother was silent for a while, but she couldn't think of any good ideas.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Aunt Shen frowned and thought for a long time. Although she was still unwilling, she did not dare to violate Master Hao's intention.
Do you really want Yan'er to be the same as yourself and just be small in the end? Although she is now the de facto ruler of Hao's house, she is still in the name of an aunt. The master has never said that he wanted to straighten her up, and she did not have the courage to take the initiative to mention it.
The original plan was disrupted, and Aunt Shen really had a headache.
That's all. When Yan'er comes tomorrow, ask her what she means. If she doesn't want to be small, just help her find a good mother-in-law. Although she is a little older, the status of the Shen family and Shen Yan's character are here, and she doesn't have to worry about finding a good mother-in-law. If she is willing to be small, she will naturally follow the previous method.
When her mind was set, Aunt Shen felt tired for a while. She immediately asked Shen's mother to call the maids to fawn water to wash, and then went to bed early.
The next day, the sun was still bright in the morning, and there were also birds jumping around happily on the branches.
Shen Yan sat in a small sedan chair and staggered to the side door of Hao Mansion.
Zhao's mother is Shen Yan's wet nurse and has been serving Shen Yan. Seeing that he had arrived at Haofu, he hurried forward to pat the door.
Shen Yan is a regular guest of Hao's house, so the doorkeeper and others know her. Seeing that Zhao's mother is knocking on the door, she opens the door attentively and greets her with a smile, "It turned out that my cousin is here. Please come in quickly."
Zhao's mother nodded lightly, returned to the sedan chair where Shen Yan was sitting, and slowly walked into the courtyard of Hao's house together.
Haofu covers a vast area. It is divided into four courtyards in the southeast and northwest. A large open space in the middle is a garden and a small pond, and the scenery is quite pleasant.
Hao's father originally lived in the East Courtyard. Later, after Mrs. Hao's death, he only checked the account book in the East Courtyard, or called the stewers to discuss affairs here. The night was much less. Most of the time, he still went to the south courtyard where Aunt Shen lived.
The West Courtyard is divided into two parts, where Hao Ling and Hao Yu live, Hao Ling live in the east, and Hao Yu live in the west. Because the courtyard is large and the walls are separated, the two of them don't have much contact in their private life. If Ding Page is married to Hao Ling, he must also live in the West Courtyard.
In the north courtyard, Hao Lingzhu and Hao Lingwei live. Like Hao Ling and Hao Yu, Hao Lingzhu also lives in the east and Hao Lingwei lives in the west.
Shen Yan was also a delicate guest, so she was arranged by Aunt Shen to stay in the same courtyard as Hao Lingwei.
Hao Lingwei is still young and very close to Shen Yan. Hearing that Shen Yan was coming, he hurriedly took the maid out happily.
"Sister Yan'er, you're here." Hao Lingwei stood at the door of the courtyard, and Shen Yan happened to come here.
Shen Yan knew that most of her development was taken care of by Aunt Shen's aunt, and she also knew that if she really wanted to marry Hao's mansion to be a young lady, she would have to rely on Aunt Shen's pull.
However, before she came, Shen Yan had learned from her father that Hao Ling actually intended to marry a woman selling tofu.
If she hadn't been taught from childhood that she couldn't do too reckless things, she couldn't help but want to see what the tofu seller looked like! Is she more beautiful than her, more talented than her, better than her background, more versatile than her?
She really can't figure it out. What's wrong with her Shen Yan?
Since she was twelve years old, her aunt took her to Haofu to live temporarily from time to time. Nominably, she asked her to accompany Lingwei, but people with clear eyes could see that her aunt actually wanted to match her and Hao Ling.
At that time, she had just begun to fall in love. Maybe she fell in love at first sight, maybe she fell in love for a long time, and she didn't know when it would start. Her heart was full of him. Even if you just see her from afar, it can make her feel inexplicably good all day.
Her family and aunt have always believed that she will eventually marry Hao Ling as their wife, and she has always thought so. Although the marriage has been delayed again and again, Hao Ling has never said that she wants to marry her, but she has never suspected that the matter is just a fiction.
She always believes that he will marry her sooner or later!
However, at this time, someone told her that he was going to marry a tofu woman.
Do you sell tofu? Is there any mistake? Even if he really can't fall in love with her, isn't there any other girl in Taihe County? How could he like a woman selling tofu? How can I marry a woman selling tofu? Isn't he worried that Hao Fu will become a joke in Taihe County? Doesn't he worry that this marriage will humiliate him? Or is there any other reason why he has to do it?
There are too many questions hidden in Shen Yan's heart. Although it's late, she must clarify those questions! She must ask Hao Ling to give her a word. Why did she delay her for so many years, but suddenly turned to marry another woman? Or a person who is not as good as her in anything, how can she be reconciled?
Looking at Hao Lingwei with a happy smile in front of her, Shen Yan squeezed a smile on her face and said faintly, "Lingwei, why aren't you sitting in the room? It's not the first time for me to come here. I don't want you to come to welcome me.
Hao Lingwei didn't mind at all and said with a smile, "Lingwei likes Sister Yan'er. I'm looking forward to Sister Yan's coming to play again. Lingwei is so happy."
Shen Yan's heart was warm, and she walked into the yard with Hao Lingwei.
