When Sheng Shuyi followed her mother and Dr. Field to the main hospital, the guests invited by the old lady had basically arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nowadays, the social atmosphere is open, and the restrictions on women are not as strict as in the previous dynasty, and the Sheng family, which keeps up with the trend of the times, is particularly "tolerant" to the girls in the family. Therefore, the banquet of the Sheng family is not divided into male and female seats like some traditional people, but adopts the "new trend" that has become more and more popular in recent years, where men and women gather together, wearing suits and dresses, and holding red wine in glass goblets.

Today's people are all from the Sheng family and their daughters and sons-in-law, which is a family gathering, and the number of people is not large, the men get together to chat about current affairs, and the women are talking about family things around the old lady of the Sheng family.

"Yo, your mother and daughter are really early enough!"

Sure enough, as soon as Sheng's mother walked into the house with her daughter, the eldest sister's yin and yang weird words smashed over her. This is her eldest sister, born to a mother, but the relationship between them is not much better than that between her and her sisters. When Sister Sheng was born, it was the most glorious time of the Sheng family, and the old lady of the family was far-sighted, and bet on the right treasure before the collapse of the previous dynasty. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the first government who vowed to lead the Chinese people into a new era was not as powerful as his mouth, and was soon overthrown by latecomers and became yesterday's yellow flower. Even the big backer has fallen, and the seat of the old lady of the Sheng family will naturally not be able to sit down.

It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, relying on the connections accumulated in the past and the prestige of the old lady, the Sheng family still looks like a flower. However, the good times did not last long, and the old lady of the Sheng family's Dinghai Shenneedle died suddenly due to illness, and he didn't even have time to explain the aftermath. The so-called "tiger father and dog son" probably said that it was the Sheng family at that time. The old lady didn't have time to explain the aftermath and went, the sons of the Sheng family had no other skills, and the infighting was more powerful than the other, and in just a few years, the huge Sheng family was torn apart.

The old man and the old lady of the Sheng family are both ruthless characters, and they have the advantage of being a descendant, accounting for most of the Sheng family's business. And at that time, the old lady booked for Sister Sheng saw that they had achieved a "victory" in one room, so they took advantage of the situation to marry Sister Sheng when she was eighteen years old and couldn't drag it out. It's just that those people have made a lot of calculations, but they didn't count that the scheming old lady of the Sheng family actually gave birth to a few straw bale sons, even the old man Sheng who won in the infighting is no exception!

The Sheng family is declining step by step, and Sister Sheng, who married into the high gate, is naturally not happy. Since she was a child, she complained about her mother's family, but she couldn't change her situation in her husband's family at all. But she didn't expect that when she was squeezed into disgrace by her husband's mother-in-law, the third sister she had always looked down on married into the upstart Li family! At first, Sister Sheng just felt unhappy, and later when her mother-in-law saw that her sister was married well and changed their attitude towards her, she was even secretly a little happy. However, two days after An gave birth, her husband's family asked her to entrust her sister to do errands. At that time, Sister Sheng was praised very much, and she didn't care if her husband's entrustment would have any bad impact on her third sister, so she responded without saying a word, patted her chest and said that she would definitely get things done.

Not to mention Sheng's mother's status in the Li family, even if it can really be done, how could Sheng's mother, who has an upright character, be willing to get involved in those shady things? The result is obvious, the grand sister Sheng who has not fulfilled her bold words has become angry and angry, and since then she has hated her own sister who is a fellow mother.

Mother Sheng took her daughter to sit down on the empty chair and ignored Sister Sheng. Fortunately, the others knew that the old lady didn't want to make any unpleasantness at this time, so they laughed and played a round game, and Sister Sheng couldn't hold on to it, so this matter was revealed.

"Shuyi, go out for a walk?"

Sheng Shuyi saw that the fourth cousin squeezed her eyebrows at her, and wondered in her heart, but she remembered what happened to her mother's wedding that day, and felt that "more things are better than less", pretending not to see her eyes, and said with a smile: "No, I just came over, I'm a little tired, I want to sit for a while, cousin, let's go play." ”

The fourth girl wanted to persuade again, but Sheng's mother on the side also helped to speak, saying that Shuyi was not feeling well, and asked her nieces and nephews to play by themselves without caring about Shuyi.

My aunt has spoken, and the girls don't have much to say, you look at me and I look at you between each other, and they squeezed out the door one after another.

Sheng Shuyi didn't sit in her grandmother's room for a long time, and then she heard the little maid report that the banquet was open. The hairy crab in autumn has delicate meat, creamy like clotted fat, delicious taste, it is the best quality of the crab, and it is very valuable, even if the Sheng family can afford to eat it, they will not have the luxury of buying so much at once. As a result, this time, as usual, people focus on socializing and ignore the food that the chef has carefully prepared.

"Doctor Fei, I heard that you have excellent medical skills, and you can cure tumors in your brain, presumably my third sister's infertility problem will not be difficult for you, right?" While everyone was talking and laughing and enjoying the delicious food, they were staggered for a while, and when they laughed and laughed, Sister Sheng's ridiculous question did not make people laugh at all, although everyone pretended that nothing had happened, but they couldn't turn a blind eye completely. For a while, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Sheng's mother, who was supposed to be the target of the public, did not lose her temper at all, and her posture was elegant and skillful in unwrapping the crab for her daughter, as if someone had uncovered her scars, and it was not she who embarrassed her face.

Dr. Field also subconsciously looked at his wife, and when he saw that she seemed to have not heard of it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then wiped his mouth slowly, and said calmly: "It is enough for us to have books, and we have no plans to have children for the time being." That's what he really thinks. As a doctor, he is accustomed to seeing life and death, which leads him to have a different view of some things than ordinary people. Besides, he himself is not a person who likes children, how good it is to live in the world of the two of them with his wife for a long time, why should he have a small gaze that his wife left on him?

Sheng Shuyi, who was ready to attack like an offended little beast, heard this, and immediately relaxed his tense spirit. Whether Dr. Field was telling the truth, or defending his mother's unwillingness to defend him, she felt that Dr. Field was better than that man simply because he was willing to stand up for her when she was being harassed. The man who can be called her father by blood, whether he is far away abroad or occasionally "busy" and returns home, he never sees his mother's difficulties, even if the Li family embarrasses his mother in front of him, he turns a blind eye!

Dr. Field does not have a half-official position, just a foreign doctor from across the ocean, and it stands to reason that the snobbish Sheng family will not take him seriously. But the problem is that he is the attending doctor of the prime minister's favorite youngest son, and he is the doctor who was personally invited by the prime minister to come over for consultation and help the youngest son treat his illness, and he has been successfully cured! The prime minister's office treats him as a guest, and other nobles do not think he has any value in making friends, and in addition, he will not have any conflict of interest with him as a foreigner, but let him become a highly respected new star in high society.

For the foreign son-in-law who has a lot of useful connections in his hand, the Sheng family is still careful to hold it, not to mention the Sheng brother-in-law's family, whose family background has fallen so badly that even the Sheng family is inferior?

After a while, the atmosphere that had just been a little stagnant became warm again.

After eating and drinking, Sheng Shuyi didn't want to stay in the upper room longer, so she went back to the small courtyard first. But as soon as she went out, she was chased by her fourth cousin at a trot.

"Shuyi, I'll go sit with you for a while, don't you mind?"

What can Sheng Shuyi say? Of course, she can only smile and say "I don't mind"!

Along the way, the fourth cousin Dong Laxi said a lot of things, which made Sheng Shuyi, who secretly guessed the reason why she was so abnormal today, a little confused. This fourth cousin is the only daughter of the eldest uncle's family, and she has always been loved by her grandmother, and she has heard that she is a popular figure in a women's university, and even she who lives in a remote place has heard that the suitors of these four cousins have come to the house to show their love! But the problem is, the two didn't have any friendship before! She didn't think that the fourth cousin was suddenly so enthusiastic about her on a whim!

When she arrived at the small courtyard, thinking that the house was dark and dark, and it was not a good place to entertain guests, Sheng Shuyi asked her fourth cousin to sit on the swing under the shade of the tree, and chatted with her while swinging slowly.

The two talked about their life ideals from poetry and songs, and went around in a big circle, and the fourth cousin asked Sheng Shuyi without a trace about Dr. Field taking their mother and daughter away.

"I don't know, my mother didn't tell me this. Sheng Shuyi really didn't know the specific details of going abroad, her mother didn't say it, she didn't ask, but recently her mother increased the time she spent communicating with her in English, and even Aunt Xu came up with a few words from time to time...... Looking at it this way, it should not be too far away from the day they will leave.

The fourth cousin seemed a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged, and quickly knocked on the side: "Did Dr. Fielde tell you about the situation in his family, such as who else is in the family, what kind of livelihood they do, where they live, and how big the house is......

Seeing her cousin's ignorant look, Sheng Si secretly held her breath, she was more beautiful and smarter than this wooden and stupid cousin, how could a good thing not fall on her head?

It's just that with the third aunt's means, it shouldn't be! She doesn't believe that the third aunt would venture to follow her husband without knowing anything about it! )
