Chapter 105 Osmanthus Blossom

Aunt Shen looked at Shen Yan with a blank face and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

The unmarried daughter's family doesn't know that these things are normal.

There are only her and Shen Yan in the room now, and some words that are inconvenient to speak in public can also be said at this moment.

Aunt Shen said with a smile, "Yan'er, do you know how to use this thing?"

Shen Yan frowned slightly, looked at Aunt Shen blankly and shook her head. Her face was a little shy, and it seemed that she also vaguely guessed what was wrapped in the paper bag in her hand.

Aunt Shen grabbed her hand and motioned her to put her ear forward so that she could talk to her in detail.

Shen Yan obediently and came forward.

Aunt Shen said softly, and then stayed away. She patted Shen Yan's hand and said with a deep smile, "Yan'er, my aunt has cleared the way ahead for you. As long as you do it this time, this marriage must be yours!" The position of young lady Haofu is also yours! My aunt knows that you like Hao Ling, so it's up to you whether to do it or not!"

Shen Yan's face was red, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment, and her mind was in a mess.

Earlier, her aunt suggested that she just let go. Anyway, they are all relatives. Even if they cook cooked rice directly, they are all family members who know. No one will talk nonsense outside, so that Shen Yan can rest assured, and it will not damage her reputation. It is precisely because they are all relatives that Hao Ling dares not be irresponsible.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Shen, Shen Yan slowly walked in the garden of Hao's mansion, hesitating about what to do.

Before going to Aunt Shen to ask how to do it, she had guessed that her aunt would let her do so, and she also made up her mind that she must listen to her aunt this time, otherwise her hopes for many years would be in full.

Perhaps because it is autumn, the sunshine in the morning is not as bright as in summer, but it makes people feel warm and tight. The fragrance of osmanthus comes to my face, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. I can't help sighing that the world is so beautiful.

Shen Yan glanced at the pavilion not far away and said faintly to Dongmei, "Dongmei, let's go to the pavilion to have a rest."

Dongmei should naturally be.

Waiting for Shen Yan to sit down and rest, Dongmei said, "Miss, why don't I go back and get some tea?"

Shen Yan deeply sniffed the fragrance of osmanthus around her, and saw the small and pink osmanthus on the osmanthus tree not far away. Her heart moved and ordered with a faint smile, "Dongmei, let the people in the kitchen pick some osmanthus and make osmanthus cakes."

Dongmei smiled and said, "Miss, wait a minute. I'll tell them to get ready to go."

As soon as Dongmei left, Shen Yan was the only one left in the pavilion.

Haofu's garden is well built. The Quchi corridor is winding and secluded, and the stone forest and dwarf trees are uneven, which feels like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the column is full of all kinds of patterns, which are colorful and elegant. If anyone looks carefully, he will definitely find the beautiful scenery.

It's just that Shen Yan didn't want to appreciate these at this moment. She pretended to be nothing happened and swept around, but when she saw that there was no one else, she carefully took out the paper bag in the sleeve cage again and looked at it.

Although these tricks are a little tricky, what can she do? She has been waiting for Hao Ling for so many years. What has she been waiting for? She thought she could wait for him to change his mind, but she waited for the news that he was going to get married. What's wrong with Shen Yan? Is it possible that in Hao Ling's eyes, he can't be as good as a cheap woman who sells tofu?

The more Shen Yan thought about it, the more sad she became. If others knew that she, the eldest lady of Shen Mansion, wanted to be jealous of a woman selling tofu. I'm afraid she had to laugh to death.

Since she was a child, how has she ever suffered such humiliation?

Hao Ling, what on earth do you want me to do for you?

Taking advantage of the good sun, Hao Lingzhu was wandering in the yard with her pet cat Xiaobai in her arms.

Xiaobai is a Persian cat brought from the Western Regions. The hair is pure white, the hair is strong, and it is very comfortable to hold in his arms. When she saw a Persian cat in someone else's house, she was itchy and wanted one. She just said a little in front of her brother, and her brother paid attention to it and soon got her one. When she saw that the kitten was white and cute, she named it Xiaobai.

Since Xiaobai followed her, she has come out to play with Xiaobai in her arms every day, so that a good cat will not be dumbfounded. Of course, in fact, she knows very well that this is to achieve her brother's goal in disguise. My brother always says that she doesn't like to walk out, and she always likes to stay in the house. It's really not a good habit.

But she has such a nature, and her brother can't do anything about her.

Because my mother likes osmanthus, many osmanthus trees are planted in the garden of the house. Every autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus comes to the nose, which is very pleasant.

Her mother died when she was so young. Since then, her brother has been by her side and taught her a lot of things. Dad is always very busy. Even when he is free, he is on his aunt's side and seldom goes to see her.

Xiaoxi is a close maid next to Hao Lingzhu. She is lively and active. She pulls a osmanthus branch that was just pulled to her. Seeing so many osmanthus flowers on it, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss, this year's osmanthus flowers are also very good. Do you want to pick some and make osmanthus cake?"

Mrs. Hao loves osmanthus cake the most in front of her. In order to remember her mother, Hao Lingzhu will eat some osmanthus cake every autumn to let herself remember her mother's kindness and remember why her mother died.

She never believed that her mother died because she suddenly fell ill. She remembered her mother's dark face before her death, her closed eyes, and her unwilling look. She knew that her mother had been complaining about her father, that he spoiled Aunt Shen too much, and that he always put Aunt Shen's affairs at the forefront.

Although his father repeatedly promised his mother that he really only had his mother in his heart, his actions still drifted to Aunt Shen.

Maybe it's because Aunt Shen is too coquettish and good at acting. My mother is always too sensible and doesn't want to bother my father with some complicated things. My father has to deal with the things in the shop every day, which is really tired.

My mother is the mistress of Hao Mansion. Naturally, she should bear the corresponding responsibilities to avoid the worries of her father. However, Aunt Shen is different. She is just a concubine. Naturally, she can play coquettishly with her father, ask for something she wants, and ask her father to accompany her.

Every time I see my father walk to Aunt Shen's yard, my mother will be in a daze, but she has never kept my father's footsteps.

She asked her mother why she didn't leave her father.

My mother just hugged her with a sad face and didn't say a word.

She thought that there should be no mother in her father's heart.

It was not until her mother's death that she saw her father locked herself in the room for three days that she realized that what her father had said before, and he really had a mother in his heart. Later, although Aunt Shen was in charge of the inner courtyard of Hao's house, she was not helped and was still only a concubine.

If my mother knows it underground, it should be a little gratified, right?

To be honest, she actually hates Shen Yan and doesn't want her brother to marry her at all. With Aunt Shen's style, how good can her niece be? What's more, she has never liked Aunt Shen for so many years, and of course she doesn't look good to her niece. She doesn't want her brother to be difficult in the future. Naturally, she hopes that her brother will not marry Shen Yan, and there will be no problem in the future.

Shen Yan was holding Xiaobai in her arms and admiring the osmanthus flowers all over the garden. Xiaoxi suddenly touched her arm, pointed to the gazebo in front of her, and said, "Miss, Miss Cousin is sitting there."

Hao Lingzhu frowned slightly and looked along Xiaoxi's eyes unhlightly. She really saw Shen Yan sitting alone in the gazebo in a daze, and she didn't know what to hold in her hand. She looked at it so stunned that there was not even a servant beside her.

Hao Lingzhu turned around and left. She didn't want to stay for a moment.

Xiaoxi spit out his tongue, quickly followed Hao Lingzhu, and turned away.

After going far away, Xiao Xi asked again, "Miss, let's pick some osmanthus flowers and come back. Can I make osmanthus cake for you?"

Hao Lingzhu is different from Shen Yan. Shen Yan is a guest. If she wants to eat osmanthus cake, she can only ask the people in the kitchen to make it. Hao Lingzhu is different. Xiaoxi's craftsmanship in making osmanthus cakes is very good. The osmanthus cakes Hao Lingzhu has eaten over the years are all from her hands.

Hao Lingzhu nodded and said in a delicate voice, "Well, pick more, and prepare a copy for your father and brother."

Xiao Xiying served Hao Lingzhu back to the yard, and then pulled Wen Lan to pick osmanthus flowers with her.

After Dongmei ordered the kitchen, she returned to Shen Yan's side and brought her a pot of Biluochun, a plate of walnut crisp, and asked her to eat something to fill her stomach. Even if you want to eat osmanthus cake, you have to let the kitchen prepare it. It's not a matter of time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Shen Yan hurriedly put the paper bag back. Although Dongmei is her maid, her daughter's skin is thin-skinned, and everyone knows that she doesn't want to make trouble now.

"Miss, let's have some walnut crisp and drink some tea first. The osmanthus cake slave has ordered the kitchen to do it. It must take a while. When they are done well, someone will send them here. Dongmei arranged the tea cup and dessert dishes and said softly.

Shen Yan nodded, picked up a piece of walnut crisp, and took a small bite. The fragrance of walnuts spread in her mouth, and it really tasted very good.

Shen Yan couldn't help sighing, "Haofu's pastry chef's craftsmanship is really good. It's also my aunt who will enjoy life and can invite such a good cook."

Dongmei bent down, leaned over Shen Yan's ear, and whispered, "In the future, you can often eat this snack master's craftsmanship."

Shen Yan blushed with shame, took a look at Dongmei and whispered, "You monkey head, just say this in my ear. You can't be heard by others."

Dongmei said with a smile, "Miss, don't worry, I have my own moderation."
