Step-Mother has Given Up

Gu Shaoyi wanted to refuse, but seeing his son's ardent eyes, he touched his son's head: "Let's go, take your sister, and Daddy will take you shopping."

Not knowing if it was a coincidence, Gu Shaoyi took the child out and met Shen Yanmo with Brother Rong and Brother Yao.

As the new year is approaching, Shen Yanmo intends to make some new clothes for a few children. I wanted to invite the embroidered mother from the shop to come home, but the two children begged to go shopping and complained to Shen Yanmo, saying that after the new year, she started to be busy again, and there was no time to accompany them.

Shen Yanmo had no choice but to agree, and as soon as he walked to Jinxiu Street, he met Ye Shaofu.

Ye Shaofu saw them from a distance and greeted them. Shen Yanmo didn't want to pay attention, but she was the master of Brother Yao and Brother Rong. The brothers liked him very much. They let go of Shen Yanmo's hand and ran over to say hello to Ye Shaofu. .

Ye Shaofu gave them the wooden pony that he had just bought, which made them happier, and took the pony to Shen Yanmo's side and showed off.

Seeing that they were happy, Shen Yanmo leaned slightly and thanked Ye Shaofu.

Ye Shaofu stared at her closely: "Why do you have to be polite, Madam, I am also their master, as a master who loves her apprentice, of course, Madam is polite, it seems out of the ordinary." As soon as the voice fell, he raised his eyes to see Gu Shaoyi holding the child towards him. Coming here, his brows twisted together.

Shen Yanmo followed his gaze and saw the faces of Gu Chang and Gu Yun. Without wondering who the man in front of him was, he casually retracted his gaze and said nothing, as if Gu Shaoyi was an unknown stranger.

Gu Shaoyi nodded slightly, his eyes were placed on Brother Rong and Brother Yao, with yellow hair hanging down, brocade clothes, ruddy complexion and vigorous expression. At first glance, they knew that they were having a good time. The current emperor is somewhat similar. Reminiscent of Ye Shaofu's talk about their identities and the situation of Yan State, Gu Shaoyi guessed something.

Ye Shaofu looked very happy when he saw her like this. He thought that Shen Yanmo and Gu Shaoyi had been married for a year, and they would have some feelings. Who knows that each one is more indifferent than the other, and worse than a stranger.

Then he was relieved.

Ye Shaofu nodded slightly towards Ye Shaofu, leading Gu Yun and Gu Chang away. Gu Chang turned his head frequently and looked around Shen Yanmo and Yao Ge. He likes to play with Yao Ge.

Shen Yanmo led Yao and Rong to continue shopping, but there was an unexpected guest around him.

Gu Chang kept watching them until they disappeared. Gu Chang said: "Daddy, I don't want Aunt Wan to be a stepmother. Can you marry Mrs. Shen back?"

Gu Shaoyi was speechless, looking down to say that he couldn't, but when he met his son's Xiyi pupils, he was silent, and looked at Gu Yun with his eyes. Seeing Gu Yun also looked hopeful, he sighed: "Some things happen, they happen. You can’t change it. Don’t say this again in the future.”

It's not that he wants to marry, she can come back. There was no feeling between them, she just ignored herself and regarded herself as nothing. Gu Shaoyi knew that Shen didn't love herself in her heart. As Lord Hou, with a distinguished status, it is impossible to marry a woman who knows not to love him, his dignity does not allow.

Near noon, Shen Yanmo took Brother Rong and Brother Yao to have lunch in the restaurant, and returned to the mansion. Knowing that the twins were awake, he led Brother Yao and Brother Rong and played with them for a while. All four children When I was tired, I coaxed them to sleep, and I took out medical skills to study carefully, and waited for Brother Rong and Brother Yao to wake up, and read them for a while. The two children liked "Sou Shen Ji", and they bothered Shen Yanmo to read it. Shen Yanmo was afraid that they would be afraid, so he read only a quarter of an hour, then replaced it with a fairy tale, and finally read poetry for a while.

At this moment, Qiuyue opened the curtain and walked in and said, "Madam, the woman next to Madam Lou is here, saying that the plum blossom cream and rouge you gave Madam Lou are very useful. I want to ask Madam if she has any extras. Yes, if there is something extra, give her more. Many ladies like it. They want to get the goods from her, but they don’t want it for nothing. They give it to the money. I also specifically asked these ladies to make generous moves and the price is not too low. "Speaking, handed a gift list to Shen Yanmo. "This is a new year gift from Lou's family, please look at it."

Shen Yanmo put down the medical skills in his hand, took the gift list and took a few glances, with a smile on his face: "There are some more, you can give it to her, these are the trial products I have nothing to do, just want to try the effect. , The response is good."

She opened the gold jewelry shop, which touched the interests of Lou's family. If it hadn't been for Madam Lou's weight with a thousand arms, Madam Lou would have hit the door long ago. Shen Yanmo also knows very well that she can't do too much if she wants to hang around in Yangzhou, and she can't fight with others everywhere.

In order to avoid this situation, Shen Yanmo can only do non-contaminated industries, such as hand cream, rouge, lip gloss, and sachets. These are small and exquisite, worthless, and profitable.

There are also rouge and lip gloss on the street, but they are not as good as Shen Yanmo's. She modified the original recipe and added some medicinal materials. The effect is long-lasting and the taste is pure. Even the Golden Lady said her craftsmanship is good. Several girls have used it and were amazed.

Madam Lou pushed Shen Yanmo a bit, causing her to give birth prematurely. The Lou family felt guilty and wanted to help out with Shen's mansion. As soon as she came and went, Madam Lou was persuaded by Qianzhong and she took the initiative to talk to Shen Yanmo. . When Madam Lou met the lady in Yangzhou Lou, Shen Yanmo gave the things she made to Madam Lou.

Madam Lou couldn't see it at first, and she gave it to the maid at will. The maid used plum blossom cream, and her slender hands were smooth and white. Madam Lou accidentally saw and asked her why, and the maid said it was the effect of plum blossom cream.

She couldn't take care of her face anymore, and asked the maid to return the rest, and she didn't dislike whether it was used by the servants, so she applied vanishing cream on her hands that night.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Lou's hands became pale and smooth. From then on, she never disliked that what Shen Yanmo did was not good. She often helped Shen Yanmo to promote sales. The response was very good in the ladies' circle, and she was often seen by people. Shen's house gets the goods.

Therefore, Shen Yanmo made a lot of money before opening his shop.

Qiuyue looked proud: "What Madam does is good. The girl in Qing'er said that she washed and chopped vegetables every day, her hands became rough, and she used the hand cream made by the lady, and her hands became softer, smoother, and more white. After taking the madam’s rouge, it immediately became beautiful, and it smelled good.” As he said, he went to the penthouse to get something and sent it to the lady in the building.

The Lou's wife took the things and left happily.

The twelfth lunar month twenty-three small year.

Before Shen Yanmo got up, Dongxue stood outside and knocked on the door and said, "Madam, Brother Rong is lying in bed, and I don't want to go to the private school anymore."

Brother Rong usually wakes up very early. Before Brother Yao gets up, he is dressed up. He doesn't know what to do today. Even if he gets up, he has a temper. No matter how Liandongxue persuades him, he can’t listen. Shen Yanmo, please go and have a look.

Shen Yanmo lifted the curtain to let the girls in.

Qiuyue came in with a pot of hot water, followed by Furong with a spittoon, and Yuhe with her toilet utensils. Dongxue came last.

Shen Yanmo asked Dongxue while washing, "I know why he doesn't want to go to the private school?"

Two months ago, Shen Yanmo found a private school for Yao and Rong. She wanted to invite Xi Xi, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a suitable one.

"Brother Yao said that when my husband was teaching, he suddenly laughed and was beaten three times by his husband." Dongxue chuckled, "I don't know if it is angry or scared, even if I get up, I don't want to go to the private school."

After Shen Yanmo washed, he led a few girls to the side room. At this time, Brother Rong was still lying on the bed. Hearing Shen Yanmo's voice, he got up and pouted and looked at Shen Yanmo: " Mother, my hand hurts and I don't want to write." The small face wrinkled into a bun was extremely aggrieved, and the clear black pupils contained mist.

Shen Yanmo came from the bed, took his hand and looked at it, saw that the palm of his hand was red, slightly distressed, rubbed it, and began to help him dress again, saying: "Today is the last day. Go. Let my brother go by himself, but what I learned today will be made up tomorrow."

Brother Rong nodded in a hurry, thanked him again and again, lying in Shen Yanmo's arms and acting like a baby: "I know that my mother is the best."

Shen Yanmo took his hand and went out: "Does Rong brother like to read?"

Brother Rong thought for a while, tilted his head and looked at Shen Yanmo. Seeing that she was not angry, he dared to tell the truth: "I don't like it, I don't understand what the Master said."

Shen Yanmo stopped and looked down at him: "Why did you laugh when you taught that Master?"

Brother Rong replied without thinking: "The Master shook his head when he was studying, and I suddenly remembered the wave drum my mother bought me. The head of the Master looked very similar to a rattle, and the boy couldn't help but laughed."

Shen Yanmo also laughed, and nodded his head: "Just you will associate it." He cast his eyes to Brother Yao, "Do you understand what the Master said?"

Brother Yao's lips pressed, and after a while, he said again: "Some understand, some don't understand, the master speaks too profoundly. We don't know that he will hit us on the board, mother, we don't like this master, we can change to a private school. ."

He knew that it was not easy for Shen Yanmo to find a private school, so he didn't dare to tell what happened in the private school.

Shen Yanmo realized that it was not the child who had the problem, but the teacher's method of teaching.

Brother Rong didn't understand it for excuses. Brother Yao has reached the age of enlightenment. You should understand all the arguments. She doesn't think there is a problem with her own child, it must be a problem with the master.

"After the new year, I will find a husband to teach at home, so that you won't run around every day." Shen Yanmo decided to find a humorous, younger master.

Ye Shaofu wanted to be a master for the two children, but Shen Yanmo was unwilling. They are not familiar with each other, and she is unwilling to owe favors.

Shen Yanmo asked him to go to a private school to ask for leave, so he took his two children to Jishitang, and by the way gave Jishitang's shopkeeper and buddies new year gifts and red envelopes.

As soon as they walked to the door of Jishitang, they saw many people surrounded by the door, and the noise was mixed with crying and pleading.

Shen Yanmo asked Furong to get out of the car to check the situation. Furong went and returned to report: "Madam, there is a young scholar's mother who is sick and already owes a lot of medicine money on credit. He was about to close the door and go out of business, so he could only drive people out, but the scholar couldn't leave."

Shen Yanmo got off the car with her skirt, Furong hugged Brother Rong, and Yuhe led Brother Yao to follow. Shen Yanmo let them go inside the store to avoid getting sick.

She squeezed into the crowd and saw a middle-aged woman lying on a mat on the ground, her face pale and her eyes closed. A young man knelt aside, and kept kowtow at Ji Shitang, yelling for help.

The shopkeeper Xu was embarrassed, with pity in his eyes: "Yu Xiucai, we are going to go home for the New Year. Ji Shitang is about to close. The old man has ordered his buddy to grab the medicine. You take it home and cook it for your mother. Raise, she is not a serious illness, she will get better, you have been living in our Jishitang, it is not a way, you owe the silver, I do not want to return. We are all going home, if you don’t leave, how do we get back Home?" I raised my eyes and saw Shen Yanmo, and said anxiously, "You are here, the boss."

"What happened?" Shen Yanmo glanced at the woman, his gaze fell on the Xiucai.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Who doesn't want to go home, but this talent is reluctant to return, there should be some reasons. Shen Yanmo frowned slightly: "Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own grass nest. Why don't you take your mother home for the New Year?"

The Xiu just cried when he heard this. It is said that men do not flick when they have tears, just because they have not reached the point of sadness. It seems really difficult.

"Bring people in, come in and talk." Shen Yanmo walked into Ji Shitang.

The shopkeeper Xu instructed the two guys to carry the people in, and the onlookers said: "Let's go, let's go all together, there is nothing to look at. Our boss is kind and won't care about this."

At the restaurant opposite, Gu Shaoyi took Gu Yun and Gu Chang to get a panoramic view of the scene just now.

When the people in front of Ji Shitang disappeared, Gu Chang turned around and looked at Gu Shaoyi: "Daddy, do you regret it?"

When Gu Yun heard this, she looked at Gu Shaoyi unconsciously, wanting to know his inner thoughts.
