Chapter 5 Shou'an Hall Determines Ancestral Offerings

Getting up early in the morning to greet the elders, Shen Junqian is the first time to do it. In Maozhou, Shen Jitang and the Xiao family spoiled her, where was they willing to let her suffer the sin of getting up early, and they always slept with her until when they got up.

Xiao Shi probably also knew about this situation, and personally went to the side room to wake up Shen Junqian and help her dress and wash.

Shen Junqian wanted to be well-behaved and sensible to her mother, but she was too sleepy, her eyes had not been completely opened since she was woken up by Xiao, and her little head was still little by little, and the whole person basically held Xiao's hand and didn't let go, let Xiao move how she moved.

Seeing Shen Junqian's troubled little appearance, Xiao touched her little face lovingly, and for the first time doubted in his heart that he was really right to take the initiative to ask the old lady for peace? ”

Mama Zhou twisted a hot handkerchief with her hands and feet and handed it to Xiao Shi, and comforted on the side: "Don't worry, madam, this is the first time that the sixth girl is not comfortable with the elders, and it will be good to get used to it slowly in the future." ”

Xiao Shi said while applying a hot handkerchief to Shen Junqian's face: "I also understand this reason, but I pity her for suffering this crime at a young age." Forget it, when you are finished, you will wait for Sister Qian to make up for sleep, don't let her go away. ”

When Xiao took Shen Junqian to the main room, he saw Shen Jitang inspecting the knowledge of his three sons.

Xiao Shi asked in surprise: "Why don't you ask the maid to come up with food, please be safe for a long time, but don't be hungry." Immediately ordered his subordinates to hurry up and put out some food.

Shen Jitang was startled when he saw Shen Junqian's listless appearance lying on Xiao's body: "Sister Qian'er, this is the case, if you don't feel well, you won't be able to prevent trouble." As he spoke, he took Shen Junqian from Xiao's hand.

Shen Junrui was also a little worried when he saw his little sister's appearance: "What's wrong with my sister, I just have candy for my sister to eat." ”

Although Shen Junxi and Shen Junchun didn't say anything on the side, they also had some worried looks on their faces.

Xiao Shi smiled and said: "Master, don't always spoil Sister Qian, it is the filial piety of the younger generation to greet the elders." She didn't have anything to do, but she wasn't used to getting up so early for the first time, and she would be fine in the future. I have already instructed Mama Zhou, when Sister Qian'er finishes asking for peace, I will serve her to make up for another sleep, so that she will not lose her spirit, you don't have to worry. ”

Possessed and touched Brother Rui's head: "Brother Rui is really sensible, I know that I care about my sister, don't worry, my sister is fine, she just didn't wake up." ”

Shen Junrui nodded, pursed his lips and laughed out of two small dimples.

Seeing that Shen Junqian was indeed just struggling, Shen Jitang was also a lot more relieved, thinking that Shen Junqian would have to do this sooner or later, so he didn't say much.

Xiao Shi saw that the people had already put the food on the table, and stretched out his hand to take Shen Junqian: "Master first, let's pad some food, Sister Qian will give it to me, and I have to feed her a bowl of bird's nest porridge, so as not to be hungry for a while and hurt her stomach." Saying this, I didn't forget to let Shen Junxi's brother sit down and eat quickly.

Although Shen Jitang is not good at the fact that he spoils his daughter but feeds his daughter, he also understands Xiao's hard work: "I'll hold it, you feed her, and it's easier for me to hold you." ”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he hurriedly feared Shen Junqian's face, and after feeding her a bowl of porridge in a daze, he asked Mama Zhou to hold Shen Junqian first, and served her husband and son while making some things by herself.

Although Feng has always gotten up early, he also understands the difficulties of the younger generations, so he set the time for asking for peace at four o'clock, Shen Jitang and Xiao have not been filial piety by the old lady's side for many years, and they want to be more filial to the old lady but are afraid that they will come late, so the family arrived at Shou'an Hall early. It just so happened that Feng Shi also got up, so he asked them to go directly to the main hall to speak.

Feng Shi saw that Shen Junqian, who was being led by Xiao Shi, was still rubbing his eyes sleepily, and said to Xiao Shi: "What's wrong with Sister Qian, bring her to me." ”

Xiao Shi was a little embarrassed to bring Shen Junqian to Feng's face, and said to Feng: "Sister Qian is young and can't stand the sleepiness, so she is probably a little unaccustomed to getting up so early. ”

Feng Shi held Sister Qian in his arms and said to Xiao Shi angrily: "Sister Qian is such a small person, you are also ruthless as a mother, why bother to wake her up, I am a lot older, do I still care about my little granddaughter." ”

Xiao Shi hurriedly laughed and said: "I also feel sorry for Sister Qian, only the ancestors are like heavens, I just look forward to taking Sister Qian to the ancestors to please do their filial piety, and touch the blessings of the ancestors, even if they learn the style of the ancestors, it is enough for her to use it for a lifetime." ”

Feng also knew that Xiao Shi was forced to be a little inflexible and pedantic in some aspects, which didn't make sense, so he didn't say much, smiled and touched Sister Qian's head and asked, "Sister Qian is still sleepy, do you want to sleep with your grandmother?" and instructed the maid on the side to bring Sister Qian a cup of fruit honey water.

Shen Junrui heard the three words of fruit honey water on the side, but his eyes lit up, twisted his little fat body, and ran to the ancestor and said enthusiastically: "Ancestor, Sister Qian is a little lazy worm, and she can't wake up so early." ”

Feng smiled and asked Shen Junrui: "Oh, why is this, Brother Rui is here to talk to his grandmother?"

Shen Junrui licked the corners of his mouth, and said pitifully to Feng Shi with his little finger: "Then, Ancestor, can you also give me a cup of fruit honey water, my mother always won't let me drink it." ”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he hurriedly stopped Shen Junrui: "Brother Rui, ......"

Xiao Shi was about to say something, Feng Shi waved his hand and said carelessly: "It's okay, Brother Rui and I haven't seen each other for a few years, he is willing to say anything to me, even if he is wrong, I am also happy." Besides, he just wants a glass of fruit honey water, and it's not a rare thing. Xiao listened and stopped talking.

Shen Junchun on the side saw it, and had the intention to defend the Xiao family, so he coquettishly said to the Feng family: "Old ancestor, do you have Brother Rui and Sister Qian who don't like me, I haven't seen the old ancestor ask me for so long, the old ancestor was not like this before." ”

Feng didn't understand Shen Junchun's careful thoughts, and said with a deliberate smile: "I don't like it, I don't like it, Brother Chun has grown up, and now he likes to run with his brothers, and in the future, he will run after his daughter-in-law, how can it be like relying on his grandmother when he was a child." It made everyone laugh, and even Shen Jitang bent the corners of his mouth.

When Shen Jizhong's family and Shen Ji'an's family came in, what they saw was this happy scene of their ancestors and grandchildren, and Shen Jizhong and Shen Ji'an's brothers glanced at each other and smiled.

Shen Ji'an immediately asked aloud: "What is there to do with my mother's happy here, and it will make me and my eldest brother happy when I say it." ”

Shen Junchun was just teased by his grandmother, even if he was thick-skinned, he would be embarrassed, and when he saw the third uncle asking, he immediately hid himself in the back.

Who knew that Shen Junrui, the little fat man, was a fool, so he immediately betrayed his brother, pointed at Shen Junchun and said, "Grandmother said that the third brother will chase after his daughter-in-law in the future." After speaking, he was still afraid that people would not believe him, so he turned around and asked Shen Junqian: "Sister, I didn't say anything wrong, right?"

Shen Junqian was so easy to watch because of the play, to mention some spirits, and when he was happy, he was unexpectedly pulled into the play by Shen Junrui, a little fat man, Shen Junqian hated iron and steel, glared at Shen Junrui, the little fat man, and then glanced at the unscrupulous people around him who were smiling and watching the show and Shen Junchun, who was already eager to kill with his eyes, decisively rubbed his eyes and looked like he hadn't woken up yet, turned around and hid in Feng's arms, directly ignoring Shen Junrui, the little fat man, and sighed silently in his heart: Has this IQ grown to the flesh?

Fortunately, Shen Jizhong, an uncle who is very loved by the elders, changed the topic in real time: "Okay, let's not be busy making fun of Brother Chun, let's say hello to my mother first." ”

The eldest lord spoke, everyone naturally restrained their thoughts, and together they asked Feng to say goodbye, and the juniors also had to salute the elders, and after they all sat down, Feng said: "Although our Shen family emphasizes no rules and no square circle in everything, but it is not a rigid rule, and you don't have to come every day in the future." I'll set a day, and you will come and go every five days, and you will get together for a meal every ten years, and all these masters of the family, big or small, will participate, what do you think?"

Shen Jizhong said a little unspeakably: "Mother, this is not good, no matter what you say, please be the filial piety of the younger generation......

Feng Shi frowned, and suddenly glanced at everyone with a firm gaze: "Okay, this matter is so decided, filial piety or not filial piety is not on the request, although it is set to come to me on the fifth day to ask for peace, is it possible that you will not come if you don't ask for peace?"

Everyone didn't even dare to say it, and Shen Jizhong hurriedly saluted: "My son doesn't dare, so he listens to his mother's orders." ”

Feng Shi waved his hand and didn't care much about it, and then said, "There is another matter to discuss with you today." Motioning to Mama Yan, I saw Mama Yan take out a small mahogany-colored carved box and put it in Feng's hand.

As soon as she saw this box, Ma's heart chuckled, and her face couldn't help but feel a little unnatural, of course she knew that it was the account book of the Shen family's inner house that was placed in it, and she didn't know what Feng meant by taking it out at this time?

Feng Shi opened the lid of the box and said, "What is in this box is all the account books of our Shen family's inner house, which contains the registers, identity deeds and some account books of the maids and servants in each courtyard, as well as the management books and account books of some granges and shops outside our Shen family. It turns out that because the second family has been in the field, and the county lord of De'an is really not good at these, he has been temporarily managed by the eldest daughter-in-law. ”

The Xiao family and the county lord of De'an saluted to the Ma family according to their words, and the Ma family was worried in his heart, for fear that the Feng family would set off the past again, and he didn't dare to make a big deal, so he avoided it and only accepted half a salute.

Feng Shi didn't care about anything else, but continued: "Now, the second family is back, De'an has also made great progress over the years, plus this year's ancestor worship will open an ancestral hall to register the names of the brothers and sisters, and there are many things that can't be borne by the old family alone, things can still be handled by the old family, but the second family and the third family will share a little, you see how to distribute it?"

After listening to Feng's words, the county lord of De'an couldn't sit still for a long time, and he was embarrassed to interrupt, so it was easy to wait for Feng to finish speaking, and immediately hurriedly said to Feng: "Mother, I can't do this, let's bother the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law." ”

Feng Shi smiled and said: "Don't rush to shirk, I see that you have managed the affairs of the third room well, and you don't need to make much effort, every qiē is in the forefront there, if there is really anything unclear to ask me." Don't worry, just let it go, and my old bones are here. ”

What else did the county lord of De'an want to say, Xiao Shi pulled her sleeve on the side and shook his head at her slightly, De'an secretly sighed and knew that this matter could not be pushed away, so he stopped talking.

Feng Shi glanced at the three daughters-in-law again and nodded, "In this case, you three concubines will go to discuss it, see what the second family and the third family are responsible for, and come to take the account books to your own courtyard in the afternoon." Okay, let's do this today, Yan'er asked the maids to set the meal. ”。
