Chapter 302: I want to play the harp, but I regret that there is no one who appreciates it
The concierge looked at the young master and young lady who were walking slowly towards him, and said quickly, "Young master, young lady, you are back."
He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan didn't want to come back, they still wanted to have tea.
But Sun Shan was going here, and they followed him happily. Only at this moment did they realize that he was actually sending them home.
He Shuqiang walked out of breath and said, "Brother Shan, it's still early, let's go out and play, I'm not in a hurry to go home."
She desperately winked at Sun Shan, asking him to leave quickly. If they were seen by A Niang's maid or nanny, they would definitely not allow the brother and sister to leave.
He Chunyuan thought the same. She was even less free than He Shuqiang. It was not right for a girl to wander around the house. This was not ladylike behavior.
Madam He must have given me a lecture.
He Chunyuan didn't want to learn etiquette, embroidery, music, chess, calligraphy and painting besides studying.
That would be too painful and she didn't want to suffer.
Sun Shan didn't even look at the two siblings, and said to the door: "Thank you, I have something to ask the eldest lady, it's about Brother Qiang and Sister Yuan."
Sun Shan was not young, but not old either, and he was a good friend of He Shuqiang, so it was allowed for younger people to meet their elders.
Asking to meet Madam He seemed normal to others.
The gatekeeper was stunned. He didn't expect that Sun Shan came to see the eldest lady, and also to talk about the eldest master and the eldest daughter.
Not daring to delay, he nodded and said, "Master, Miss, Master Sun, I'll go and inform you and come right over."
After saying this, he opened the side door next to the main gate and led Sun Shan, He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan in.
As for the front door, wealthy families generally don't open it.
If the front door is open, it means that the owner of the house must have an important event or a distinguished guest is coming.
For youngsters like Sun Shan, He Shuqiang, and He Chunyuan, it is enough to take the small gate.
He Shuqiang asked in confusion: "Brother Shan, what do you want to talk to my mother about?"
Sun Shan and Madam He had little interaction. They had only met a few times and had rarely spoken to each other. He Shuqiang was very puzzled that Sun Shan wanted to look for Madam He.
He Chunyuan thought more deeply than He Shuqiang, and said with a little fear: "Brother Shan, you are looking for my mother, not to complain, right?"
Apart from this incident, Fatty couldn't think of what Sun Shan wanted to see Madam He about.
The complaint was naturally about He Chunyuan secretly eating roast chicken.
Sun Shan glanced at He Shuqiang and then at He Chunyuan.
It seems that Yuan Jie'er is smarter than the other two siblings. She can guess the purpose of his visit to Madam He today.
Yuan Jie'er was right. Sun Shan went to see Madam He today to complain about Qiang Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er's weight loss.
Through a short period of observation, Sun Shan gained a better understanding of the He family.
When it comes to dieting, only Mrs. He is a staunch believer. Old Master He San, Mrs. He San, and Mr. He Da are all fence-sitters who sway from side to side.
Whenever He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan complained and acted pitiful, the three of them would immediately soften their hearts, secretly feed them, and give them pocket money to buy food.
So when it comes to losing weight, I have no choice but to turn to Mrs. He.
Sun Shan stood calmly and said coldly, "Brother Qiang, Sister Yuan, don't be anxious. When you meet the Madam later, you will know what's going on."
He Shuqiang also sensed something was wrong at this time, and took a few steps back and said, "Brother Shan, I still have homework to do, so I'll go back and do it first. You should also go back early, because my mother doesn't have time to entertain you."
He Chunyuan also echoed, "Brother Shan, me too. I have a lot of homework to do. After finishing my homework, I will practice embroidery later. I'll go back first. Don't look for my mother. She's busy taking care of the family all day long."
Sun Shan snorted coldly and shot out two cold glares.
He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan immediately retracted their steps and looked at Sun Shan fearfully, not daring to run away.
After waiting for less than a minute, the doorman and a maid came out and saw Sun Shan, He Shuqiang, and He Chunyuan.
The nanny smiled and said, "Master, Miss, you are back. Master Sun, our Madam wants to see you."
Sun Shan nodded and followed the nanny.
When Sun Shan found that He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan were not leaving, he turned around and glanced at them deeply. The two siblings immediately followed behind them stupidly, moving slowly forward.
The nanny felt a little strange when she saw the young master and young lady acting so timid. Could it be that they had done something wrong?
Sun Shan knew that Madam He would definitely summon him.
As a mother, how could she not care about the affairs of He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan?
What's more, Sun Shan's appearance to the outside world is not very good, but his image as a person is extremely good.
First, he was He Shuqiang's savior, and he was brave and resourceful at a young age. Second, he was a 13-year-old scholar, which proved that he had good knowledge. Third, Sun Shan had never asked for favors or troubled the He family over the years. If it wasn't an important matter, he wouldn't have come easily.
The three of them walked through the corridor, passed the small garden, and soon arrived at the reception room in the inner courtyard.
Mrs. Chen, the wife of He Da, was sitting on the armchair. Seeing Sun Shan, He Shuqiang, and He Chunyuan, she smiled and asked, "Where did you three go to play?"
It was the first time that Mrs. He had seen Sun Shan in all these years. In her impression, Sun Shan was thin and weak, short, with a pointed head and narrow forehead, and triangular eyes.
After so many years, Sun Shan is still the same Sun Shan. Except for the fact that he looks like a scholar in his student's uniform, nothing else has changed.
If he wore coarse cloth and rough clothes, Madam He would think he was a hungry servant.
Sun Shan bowed and greeted Madam He: "Hello, Madam. It's a bit rude to visit you so suddenly. Please bear with me."
If you want to visit a high-ranking official like this, you must first hand over a visiting card.
Otherwise it would be very rude.
Madam He smiled and said, "You're welcome. You're a good friend of Qiang'er. You can come anytime. Come and sit down."
Madam He specially arranged for Sun Shan to sit on the armchair next door, and then asked the servants to pour tea and water for him.
He said to He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan: "You two are causing trouble for Shanzi again, aren't you?"
He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan quickly shook their heads.
He Shuqiang immediately said, "Mother, we were just shopping in Hejia Village with Brother Shan. We didn't go anywhere."
He Chunyuan also echoed: "Mother, elder brother is right, we only played in Hejia Village and did not go out."
Mrs. Chen, the eldest lady of the He family, believed that the two of them had not left Hejia Village.
He Shuqiang was personally escorted to Sun Shan's place by a servant.
As for when He Chunyuan went out, Chen had no idea.
Chen still didn't know how He Chunyuan got together with Sun Shan and He Shuqiang.
Ask this question after Sun Shan leaves.
Now we need to figure out why Sun Shan suddenly visited us. This is not like Sun Shan’s style.
Sun Shan got straight to the point and said, "Madam, this sudden visit is about the matter of Brother Qiang and Sister Yuan."
He Shuqiang, He Chunyuan, and Madam He all looked at Sun Shan at the same time, their eyes revealing: What's the matter? Tell me quickly.
Sun Shan did not hide anything and told He Shuqiang how he and He Chunyuan met He Chunyuan who was secretly eating roast chicken while walking.
He also recounted the last time he had tea with Yuan Jie'er, who ate a lot.
He Chunyuan covered her chest and felt the pain of being betrayed for the first time. And this traitor was Sun Shan, whom she thought was honest and simple.
After hearing this, Madam He glared at Yuan Jie'er fiercely, thinking that it was no wonder that she was getting fatter and fatter, it turned out that she was cheating on her friends and eating much more than at regular meals.
But reason controlled Mrs. He. Since there were outsiders around, she had to give some face to her daughter.
After Sun Shan finished talking about He Chunyuan cheating, he started talking about He Shuqiang cheating.
He Shuqiang looked at Sun Shan in disbelief: Is this still his brother Shan? Why did he file a complaint?
Mrs. He also couldn't understand why Sun Shan came to complain and why he visited her specially, just to tell her about the affair between He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan.
After Sun Shan finished talking about the two siblings' cheating, he said seriously, "Madam, I came to tell you today because I can see that you are the only one in the He family who is most determined to help Brother Qiang and Sister Yuan to diet. For the sake of their health, I can only come to you to talk to you."
Mrs. He was extremely excited, with tears in her eyes. Finally someone understood her painstaking efforts.
When it comes to the He family's matter of the two siblings losing weight, Qiang'er, Yuan'er's grandparents, and father play the good guys, while she plays the bad guy.
She felt so miserable. How could a mother not love her children? She restricted the meals of the two siblings so much, just for their health.
As a result, the whole family didn't understand or support it.
I want to play the harp, but I regret that there is no one who can appreciate it. Who can understand these feelings?
Mrs. He could never have imagined that the person who understood and supported her the most was the young Sun Shan.
She was so excited that someone finally understood her hard work.
