Chapter 2: The Six Girls Meet Their Elders for the First Time

Shen Jitang and Xiao took Shen Junqian's brother and sister to enter the second gate under the support of the maids-in-law, and saw their eldest son Shen Junxi and second son Shen Junchun coming over to greet them, Shen Junqian and the third brother hurriedly got out of the way, and waited for the two brothers to greet their parents, and then stepped forward to greet the brothers.

Shen Junqian's eldest brother Shen Junxi, who is 11 years old today, ranks second in the Shen family, while the second brother Shen Junchun, who is 10 years old, ranks third in the family. Shen Junxi's brother and sister originally lived in Maozhou with Shen Er Ye and Xiao Shi, but this time Shen Er Ye returned to Beijing to report on his work, thinking about staying in Beijing, and because of the New Year, he sent his two sons back to Laizhou two months in advance to Mrs. Feng's side to fulfill their filial piety, and also casually sent back part of the New Year's gifts first.

After finishing the ceremony, Shen Junxi said to Shen Erye and Xiao: "Father, mother, the ancestor said, the family does not need to be too rigid about the common etiquette, let you go back to Jingxian Hall to freshen up and rest before going to Shou'an Hall to greet the ancestor. ”

When Shen Jitang heard this, he asked: "Why is it so troublesome to prepare for the banquet, why don't your uncle and third uncle persuade the ancestors? ”

When Shen Junchun heard this, he immediately interjected on the side: "Daddy, just rest assured, the uncle and the third uncle also agree with the grandmother, the uncle said that the father has not come back for four or five years, and this time he is going to have a good gathering, the third uncle originally wanted to invite a drama garden to come to the house for a few days, or the ancestor said that the father and mother should rest for a few days, first have a meal with the family, and after a few days to find a day to invite relatives to come over to live, the third uncle is just right." ”

Shen Junxi also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Daddy and Mother should go back to Jingxian Hall to freshen up first." My brother and I took care of the house in Jingxian Hall, and my father and mother also went to see if it was suitable. By the way, the younger brother is 8 years old, and according to the will of the ancestors, he arranged to live with his brothers in the front yard, and the younger brother's house is next to the third brother. Pinched Brother Rui's little face, and smiled at him: "I'll take you to see it later, the things and decorations in the house are all moved out by me and my third brother to the warehouse for you, and you like it." ”

Brother Rui doesn't like people pinching his face now, but he can't resist his brother, so he has to make a bitter face: "Thank you, two brothers." ”

Shen Junchun prefers to tease him, and he wants to pinch him with a smile, and when Brother Rui sees his movements, he runs behind Xiao Shi and hides. Seeing that Shen Junchun still stepped forward to tease Brother Rui, Xiao Shi stretched out his hand to stop him: "Okay, okay, don't be playing tricks on your brother, hurry up and take us back to freshen up and go to see the old ancestor, although the old ancestor is lenient, we are not good at making her old man wait a long time." Besides, don't you see that your sister is tired, don't you hurry up and get out of the way. ”

As soon as he heard Xiao's words, Shen Junchun immediately stopped playing, turned his head to look at Shen Junqian and asked with concern: "I heard that my sister has suffered a big crime this time, and my father and mother didn't say anything specific in the letter, but now it's better." ”

Shen Junqian has been holding her grandmother Zhou since she got off the carriage at a young age, and when she heard her brother's concern, her heart warmed: "It's much better, don't worry about the second brother." ”

Although Shen Jitang on the side was also willing to watch their brothers interact closely, he just: "Okay, I'll talk about these things later, the old ancestor is still waiting for us, let's go back and freshen up first, if you have anything to say, you guys will talk slowly later." ”

"Yes. As soon as they heard the words of Second Master Shen, the brothers and sisters immediately straightened up.

"By the way, Brother Rui and Sister Qian can no longer call people according to our own rankings like Maozhou, do you remember what my mother taught you before?" Xiao suddenly remembered the title, and couldn't help frowning and thinking secretly, alas, they all blamed their brothers and sisters before, and they didn't even remember the ranking of their brothers and sisters in the family.

Shen Junxi comforted Xiao Shi on the side and said: "Mother, don't worry, my brother and sister are still young, even if they call the wrong person, it doesn't matter, it's always a family, so much more exquisite." ”

When Shen Jitang's family entered Shou'an Hall, they saw that Mama Yan beside the ancestor Feng was already waiting at the door, Mama Yan was Feng's dowry girl, she grew up with Feng since she was a child, she never married in her life, and the three masters in the family were all raised by Mama Yan since she was a child. When the old man was there, he was strict with the three masters, and the three masters were punished to kneel in the ancestral hall when they were young. The three masters have always been grateful to Mama Yan, and originally wanted to let her go of the deed to buy her a house for the elderly, but Mama Yan only took the deed but stayed in the house to serve the Feng family, and she also abided by the rules of the subordinates on weekdays and never took it big, the old men have always respected Mama Yan, and the little masters also respected Mama Yan as half an elder.

"Why did Mama come out in person, and asked the little maid to wait at the door, why bother your old man. Seeing Mama Yan saluting, Xiao didn't dare to take it and quickly helped her up and returned half a salute.

Mama Yan avoided her body slightly, and smiled kindly: "I haven't seen the second master and the second wife for a few years, the old lady is reading it tightly, so I came out in person, and I also want to ask for a trick, the second master and the second wife have been in Maozhou for a few years, there must be a few rare things over there, and the old slave will open his eyes first and see for a long time." ”

I was also very happy to see Mama Yan Shen Jitang, and a shallow smile appeared on her elegant face: "Mama is polite, Mama's decades of knowledge are comparable to our juniors, Maozhou is a rare thing, to some good Tuyi, I will send it to you in a while." ”

Mama Yan smiled when she heard this, and her eyes bent even more: "Oh, this is so embarrassing that the old slave is embarrassed, let the old lady know and think that Mama I deliberately blocked the door to ask for the second master and the second wife's things, but I want to make fun of Mama." He said that he was embarrassed, but he didn't lift the curtain without any twisting, and personally led the two masters into the house.

Through the mahogany screen with rich flowers, I saw a room of people surrounded by an old woman reclining on the couch, who thought it was Feng's. I saw that Feng was about fifty years old, although he had suffered some hardships in the early years, he was very well maintained, his complexion was ruddy and shiny, there was no trace of silver on his head, and he was wearing a set of home clothes. Shen Junqian secretly glanced at it a few times, and always felt that although Feng's cleanup was simple, her whole person, along with the wrinkles on her face, revealed an elegant charm.

Shen Jitang and Xiao Shi didn't have time to see the other people in the house, so they only took their children forward to say goodbye first: "The son (daughter-in-law) asks for peace to the mother." The grandson (granddaughter) greets the grandmother. ”

Feng got up and got out of bed, personally helped Shen Jitang up, looked at his son's family and squinted his eyes: "Okay, good, it's good that they're all back." He beckoned to Shen Junrui and Shen Junqian beside him, "This is Sister Qian'er, yo, she looks really handsome." And Brother Rui still remembers his grandmother? Come, come to me, let me take a good look. ”

Shen Junqian glanced at his father, pursed his lips and stepped forward, raised his head and shouted, "Grandmother." When Brother Rui saw his sister coming forward, he immediately followed and called out to his grandmother.

Feng touched Sister Coriander's porcelain-white little face, took a closer look, and saw that Sister Coriander had two small mustaches combed on her head, each fixed with a few pearls hanging from a red rope, and a silver-red Baifukan shoulder with a frayed edge on her upper body, covered with a purple long jacket, and a purple small jacket skirt of the same color on her lower body, and a small face lined with more and more delicate and lovely. secretly praised Xiao Shi, and then turned his head to look at Brother Rui, and immediately laughed out loud, and turned back to a room of humanitarians: "Our family belongs to Brother Rui is the most blessed." Everyone was delighted when they heard it.

Brother Rui has not grown up because he is still young, so he wears a big red shoulder with the same style as Shen Junqian, and wears a pair of red pants, but he looks sturdy, and the clothes and pants let him stretch out and the whole is round, with his fat round face, a pair of bright and innocent eyes, like a little bear calf caught stealing honey, there is a simple and stupid cuteness.

I saw a woman wearing a ginger dress next to her and two small gold fan hair ornaments on her head stand up and echo: "No, look at this body, I really don't know how the second brother and sister were raised." He also asked Xiao Shi kindly: "If the second brother and sister have any good ways to raise children, don't forget the sister-in-law." It was the eldest lady of the Shen family, Ma, Xiao responded quietly, but he was secretly surprised in his heart that Ma had changed after not seeing Ma for a few years.

Although Brother Rui is young, he is also eight years old, and it is when children love beauty and stinky beauty, seeing that they are being teased by everyone, and there are many elders, they have no choice but to turn around and throw themselves into Xiao's arms, and they refuse to look up, but everyone laughs even more.

Feng Shifang said to his second son and daughter-in-law: "Go and recognize the family, you have been gone for four or five years, and the children and girls in the family have grown up, but I am afraid that I can't remember what you look like as an elder." ”

The young masters and girls of the Shen family had already stood up from their seats and waited when Shen Junqian's family came in, and when they heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to meet them one by one.

When everyone returned to their seats, they saw Shen Junluo, the fifth girl from Shen Junqian's third uncle's family, running to Feng's side and coquettishly: "Grandmother, can I go to the sixth sister to play in the future?"

Seeing that Feng nodded, the five girls ran to Shen Junqian's side again and took Shen Junqian's little hand: "Sister, I am your fifth sister, you can play with me in the future, and I will take you to build a snowman." ”

Shen Junqian was about to answer, but Shen Junluo suddenly approached again, leaned into her ear and whispered: "We can also sprinkle wheat and flutter birds to roast and eat, but unfortunately it is not summer, when we go to the river to catch small fish and shrimp." After speaking, he didn't forget to wink at Shen Junqian.

Shen Junqian was immediately stunned, the noisy sea has been echoing with "roasted birds catch fish and shrimp", and he can't help but thunder in his heart, this style of painting doesn't seem right?

God knows that since the previous life, Shen Junqian's ideal is to eat and wait for death, and he has always been a person who "lives sixty points and wastes sixty-one points" when he goes to school, but since he knows that he has entered a noble family with a strict family style, and he has also been out of a family with "one family and three jinshi, father and son", how trembling he is? Not to mention that the three people mentioned in this sentence are her grandfather, her uncle, and her father.

Originally, she was very glad when she first found out about it, but fortunately her father was not one of the double champions. But her second brother was very cruel to tell her, in fact, his father should have been the champion, but because he took the same exam as his grandfather, the saint considered him to be the elder, and his father was only in his early twenties in the first three that year, so he ordered the third Tanhualang. So since Shen Junqian said that she would leave, she has been carefully putting away her casual style and learning every day, but now her fifth sister said to her, although some of them were said secretly, but she seemed to have misunderstood the four words of the Qinggui family?
