led Mo Beichen to the corner of the study by the lake, the two knelt at the window and sat at the tea table, the lake and mountains at night were actually beautiful, Mo Beichen looked out the window casually.

After a while, the tea was fragrant, and when he looked down, Shen Laifan had already skillfully begun to make tea, and the fragrance was overflowing. The patriarch of the Shen family is not allowed to make money, the master's kung fu, calligraphy and painting, together with his one-handed tea making kung fu, are rare in the world, not to mention, he has the best tea and tea sets in the world.

When the tea was brewed, Mo Beichen raised his glass and sipped it lightly, it tasted good.

Shen Laifan put down the teapot, and then asked out loud: "I don't know why the young master came?"

Mo Beichen didn't answer, and after the tea in the cup was drunk, he put down the cup and said, "Shui Qingwei asked me to come here to see the event." I'm quite curious about what activities Qiyinglou and Shenyanfang are going to do these days. ”

"Oh. He raised his voice, as if still waiting for my next answer.

"Lao Shen, over the years, the business of Qiying Building has done well, I patronized an inn under Qiying Building today, the service is good, you have to make persistent efforts. Well, by the way, what's going on with that 'playboy' business?"

The corners of Shen Weifan's mouth lifted lightly, and then said calmly: "The young master praises falsely, if it weren't for the guidance of the young master, how could Shen have such ability." 'Playboy' is widely liked by the children of rich families, and the business has expanded dozens of times compared to the beginning, and now it has spread abroad. ”

Mo Beichen nodded, dressed thousands of times, not sycophants, and continued to praise: "Old Shen, you are really a business wizard." Under your leadership, Qiyinglou must be like a fish in water, and you must continue to carry it forward. I'm optimistic about you. ”

His face was solemn, he poured another cup of tea for Mo Beichen, and said in a deep voice: "The young master only wants to praise Shen when he comes today. ”

Yo, Lao Shen is embarrassed, look at him suddenly blushed, this temperament really hasn't changed. Unlike his unpromising younger brother, who is as cheeky as the emperor when he boasts, he is too thick. Mo Beichen suddenly thought of Shen Laihan again, and he couldn't help but feel slightly unhappy, and couldn't help but want to scold a few words.

Turning back to his senses, Mo Beichen smiled, stopped teasing Shen Laifan, continued to sip tea, and asked, "I met the emperor and the Taifu at the inn today, do you know why they came to Duanzhou?"

Shen Laifan was surprised: "Such a coincidence, I didn't expect them to arrive in Duanzhou early." ”

Then he lowered his head and pondered, and said: "I received a holy decree ten days ago, saying that the emperor was going to come to Duanzhou Weifu for a private visit, but the specific reason was not explained, but I only informed the Shen family that I would secretly welcome the holy driver when the time came. As far as I know, the emperor should have come to Qiyinglou, Shenyanfang, and the Shen family. ”

Mo Beichen nodded, as he guessed, Duanzhou has been more eye-catching recently, and the emperor may just want to check the Qiying Building and Shenyanfang, and by the way, inspect the movements of the Shen family.

He frowned slightly, then grinned and said, "Old Shen, you are careful in everything. The emperor is not good, the business on the surface of Qiyinglou is indeed easy to make people suspicious, and besides, this martial arts conference is a hard bone, if you accidentally bite it, you will eat your teeth, and your relationship with Qiyinglou must not be noticed by anyone. I guess the emperor may suspect that you have something to do with Qiyinglou, after all, the first person in the world who has the ability to do a big Qiyinglou is you, Shen Laifan. ”

Shen Laifan sighed and said, "Indeed." It's been an eventful time. ”

Mo Beichen was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Old Shen, it turns out that you will also complain." I always thought you could solve all the problems. ”

Shen Laifan raised his head, glanced at Mo Beichen deeply, and sighed again in his heart, yes, I really shouldn't have complained, you trust and encourage you so much, this troubled water, you must step on it well.

Mo Beichen touched the cup and played around, his eyes were a little hesitant, and finally, he touched his ears and asked, "How is your third child doing?"

"Huh?" Shen Laifan was unexpectedly calmed by Mo Beichen's sudden question, and sighed after coming back to his senses: "It's the same old look, it's still a lazy bone." After giving him a few kisses, he still didn't agree, and after he resigned from the palace three years ago, he took care of his own pharmacy every day, and he usually didn't want to let him go home for a few days, and I don't know what he was doing?"

As soon as Shen Laifan talked about the lazy third brother, his words became nagging, and he really looked like the essence of a big parent.

Mo Beichen's eyebrows raised unhappily, and he said coldly: "I'm not asking him, I'm asking your son Xiaosan." ”

Ah, Shen Laifan rarely scribbled for a moment, and then looked at Mo Beichen's expression, and knew in his heart that the young master was just hard-mouthed, he just wanted to save face, and he was not good at brushing his face, so he was just a favor.

Haha laughed, Shen Laifan couldn't help but smile when he thought of his precious son Xiaosan: "My junior has begun to read and write, and my husband praises him for being smart and clever, and he will become a big tool in time......"

Of course, I don't talk about how naughty the junior is, I don't know how many Mr. gasses away.

This is comparable to the original prince.

As he spoke, Shen Laifan couldn't help but glance at the former prince with a dead face in front of him, thinking about the difference between Xiao San and him.

"Come on. Mo Beichen stopped Shen Laifan's words with a headache, and the more he talked, the essence of this was revealed.

Shen Laifan is obviously a long-winded parent. If you don't stop any longer, you will definitely have to listen to him talk about the two or three things of his junior all night today.

This Shen Laifan, the head of the family, has a beloved wife and three children at home. The eldest son is twelve years old and is studying at the Royal Academy in Beijing and can only come back two or three times a year. Since Shen Laihan resigned, this eldest son has become the only hostage of the Shen family in Beijing. The second daughter is ten years old, a lively and lovely little girl, innocent, inherited her mother's gentleness and kindness, and will definitely be a good woman when she grows up. There is also the youngest and most beloved youngest son, who is only five years old this year, and according to Shen Laifan's introduction every time, he is a smart and dexterous little genius.

The Shen family does not have many connections, which is also a reason why the emperor is more at ease with them. For a noble clan, flourishing is the greatest foundation.

The Shen family also has a second young master who has been wandering outside to learn martial arts since he was a child, it is rumored that this person is strong in martial arts, but he is a wanderer, and until now not many people know what he looks like.

The third child of the Shen family is Mo Beichen's confidant and friend Shen Laihan, but he hasn't seen him for three years, and I don't know how he has changed now.

With a sigh, Mo Beichen drank the last cup of hot tea in his hand and said, "Tonight's tea is good, but it's a little light, I'm going to order tea next time." The night is long, and you should go back to sleep in the spring and autumn dream. I'm leaving. ”

Getting up and patting his sleeve, Mo Beichen yawned and left the last sentence: "Old Shen, I will come to your house as a guest in two days, remember to prepare a place for me when the time comes, my distant cousin." ”

Seeing Mo Beichen's dark figure disappear like lightning, Shen Laifan came back to his senses and continued to be distressed, listening to his last sentence, he wanted to be his fake distant cousin, could it be that this young master wanted to come and have a head-on or secret confrontation with the emperor's Taifu?

Hey, what an eventful time.

Little San, this kid, why did he get angry with his seventeenth gentleman today?

There are also the second and third brothers, and these two younger brothers are really worrying.

The night wind continued to blow desperately, Mo Beichen's figure continued to jump like a ghost, and Shen Laifan continued to stroke his forehead in distress.

No one knows how much worry and distress the Shen family patriarch who seems to have a chic life actually has in his heart.
