Chapter 8 Grasping the Weekly Banquet
I only heard a burst of talking from inside, and at this time the eldest lady was taking the second lady, and the third lady was busy greeting the guests. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, he said that although the Shen family is not a big family, the officials in the family also started with Master Shen, and the previous generations were just farmers. Moreover, the family members are even more scarce. But in the end, Master Shen is now the prefect of Suzhou with the fourth grade, and he is also the highest-ranking official in Suzhou.
And the protagonists of this Zhou Li are the sons of the big house, one of them is the son of the big house in the house, although his father is just a concubine, but in the end it is the eldest son of the Shen Mansion, who was born and married the daughter of the Hou Mansion, although it is an unfavored concubine, and now there are rumors that he is going to Qingyang County to take the post of Ren Zhi County, that Qingyang County is a rich place.
In this way, for these local officials, it is worth their friendship.
Here, several ladies of the Shen family were greeting the ladies of each family, and An Ran was also brought in by the nurse. An Ran saw that the maid who led the way walked to the eldest lady and didn't know what to say, and several ladies also looked over.
The eldest lady gave a few instructions, and the maid turned around and walked over, and said to An Ran's nurse: "The eldest lady wants to see Brother Yue'er, so you can take your brother over." ”
The nurse hurriedly walked over with An Ran in her arms, and Yulou also followed behind, saluting respectfully to the eldest lady together, "Brother Yue has come to greet Mrs. Yue." The nurse put down An Ran as she spoke, and after An Ran stood firm, she asked the eldest lady to say goodbye, and said word by word, "Yue, brother, give, mother, please be safe." ”
I saw the eldest lady Su Shi, wearing a narrow jacket of red satin with a golden butterfly and a flower, with a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan dotted emerald on her head, and a brocade handkerchief in one hand, embroidered with a little red plum on the handkerchief. This outfit will be a young woman who was originally only a teenager and still has a delicate temperament, but it is a dignified and elegant temperament, just at a glance, I can only feel indescribably noble.
The eldest lady just nodded coldly, and told the nurse to hug An Ran.
A lady wearing a jade flower-sprinkled crepe dress next to her spoke: "It's still the lady who is kind, this brother is really well raised." ”
"That's right, the eldest lady is from the Hou Mansion in the end, and she is also kind to her concubine, and the rules of teaching are also good. Why don't you see the fourth son of the house?" Several ladies next to them also agreed, praising the eldest lady for raising children, and asked about the fourth son of the eldest lady.
"The weather was bad a few days ago, Brother Jue had a cough, I drank medicine last night, and I am afraid I got up late today. Caixia, go and see, why doesn't the nurse bring her brother here?" explained to the eldest lady to the ladies, and then instructed the eldest girl next to her to go and see Brother Jue. He turned his head to An Ran's nurse and said, "Brother Yue'er is full, you take your brother to find other brothers in our house first, and the girls will play, and come back later, just remember that you are going to miss the auspicious time." ”
The nurse hurriedly responded, picked up An Ran and looked for other brothers in the house. An Ran was originally listening and analyzing their conversation, and when he heard himself mentioned, he was busy listening carefully, and he was asking himself to play. An Ran didn't want to go out, he still wanted to listen more to understand what dynasty he was in, but his grandmother spoke, and he honestly let the nurse take him away. Just looking back.
Several ladies flattered the eldest lady a few more words, the second lady Zhang was wearing a scarlet floral jacket, only sitting on the side and smiling, and the third lady Liu had some resentment on her face. Although the eldest lady Su is the wife of the big house, not to mention that she is much younger than the second lady and the third lady, and she is a married concubine like the third lady, not to mention that the Su family is only a stepfamily.
Just because the Su family was born in the Hou Mansion, not only does he have the power to be in charge of the family, but he also has the support of the master. Now that she has given birth to a son-in-law as soon as she enters the door, these ladies are vying to be good friends with her.
The third lady Liu glanced at the second lady with an indifferent expression, and said in her heart that Shen Qian, the second master of the second room, is the biological son of the old lady and the sister-in-law of the Shen Mansion, and most of the Shen family will be theirs in the future. Thinking like this, the third lady was even more unhappy and indignant.
And the second lady Zhang is indifferent by nature, plus her daughter has just had an accident, and the aunts in the second room are all restless, and they are only focused on the three children these days, and they don't care about it.
In the side room, An Ran sat in the arms of the nurse and looked at the group of little radish heads around her, the children in the family were also here, and it was the first time that An Ran really saw these relatives in this family.
There are few boys in the Shen family's generation, but there are many girls, and now there are only five sons, but there are ten girls.
An Ran secretly identified in his heart that one was the cousin of the second room, and that one was the cousin of the third room. also observed the fellow from time to time, yes, An Ran saw Shen Huirong, the daughter of the second room, who crossed the villager.
Shen Huirong looked like she was five years old, followed by two maids. Although he is young, he looks stable among the sisters, and his appearance is even more impressive, only to see red lips and white teeth, delicate facial features, skin like snow, and a hint of ruddy in his white complexion. is so handsome and cute at a young age, it is not difficult to see that she will be a peerless beauty who will fall into the country and the city when she grows up in the future.
An Ran said in his heart, he didn't expect that in just one year, Shen Huirong was a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and he hadn't been to the cultivation realm and didn't know whether her speed was fast or slow, but he had cultivated for a year plus ten months in his mother's womb, and with the help of innate qi, he had only reached the middle stage of the refining period. It can be seen that Shen Huirong must be working very hard, not to mention that she still has the help of the Xianfu space, and she will definitely become more and more powerful in the future.
Thinking like this, An Ran was a little anxious, since he knew that there was more than one traverser in this world, An Ran had been very eager to improve his cultivation. Although Shen Huirong is very envious of Shen Huirong's possession of the Immortal Mansion space, she is not jealous, but she has the idea of comparing her cultivation with Shen Huirong, "Although I don't have the Immortal Mansion space, I will not be worse than you." Even if this idea is only known to himself, seeing Shen Huirong's cultivation improve so quickly, An Ran, who has always thought that he will not lose, is lost in his heart.
Here, after a while, Jue's nurse came with Jue'er in her arms. Jue Ge'er is also wearing a red Wufu cloud carved silk jacket, but there is a gold collar around his neck, which is engraved with four big characters of auspicious Ruyi, and a little cinnabar on his forehead, white and fat, which looks particularly cute.
The housekeeper saw that the auspicious time was approaching, and hurriedly asked her subordinates to put out a big case from the treasury and place it in the front hall, and placed the four treasures of the study, bows, arrows, abacus, coins, account books, toys, general's helmets, wine order chips and other things around the big case.
The old lady also brought the female dependents in the back hall to the front hall, although the old lady was very displeased with the Su family, on the one hand, because the old lady's sister was also the aunt of the Hou Mansion, and the biological mother relationship with the eldest lady was very poor, on the other hand, she was annoyed because she was reprimanded by the master, but in the end she didn't want to leave anyone to talk about.
In the front hall, several masters of the Shen Mansion were also coming to entertain relatives and friends who came to the mansion. When the auspicious time came, everyone gathered around the big case.
Master Shen Qixun said in a deep voice: "Okay, bring the two little sons over." ”
Brother Jue'er's nurse Mei Shi put Brother Jue on the big case, "Brother Jue'er, do you have anything you like?" Mei whispered to guide Jue Ge'er.
The eldest lady Su Shi also said on the side: "Brother Jue, go and choose something." "Su Shi has also trained Jue Ge'er to catch Zhou, so he is not so worried that Jue Ge'er will choose the wrong thing.
I saw Brother Jue squatting on the big case, looking around with his little head up and ignorant eyes, and saw his father Shen Yi looking at him and smiling, grinning and crawling in the direction of his uncle Shen Yi. "Daddy, daddy", screaming while crawling, Shen Yi was happy to see his son so close to himself.
But he said that although Shen Yi, the uncle of the Shen family, had a son a long time ago, it was a pity that he was only the eldest son, and although his son was excellent, he did not have a son-in-law, and he regretted it in his heart. In this era, what is important is the son-in-law, what rules and etiquette, the son-in-law is the real heir of the family. Now that Shen Yi has already passed the age of establishment, he has such a precious sister-in-law, and the child's mother is the mother of the house, and she is very fond of Brother Jue.
Shen Yi picked up his son, touched his son's little head that had just grown hair, and said, "Brother Jue is obedient, go and catch Zhou first." ”
An Ran watched Shen Yi skillfully pick up Brother Jue'er, and secretly said in his heart that he had only met this cheap father three times since he was born for a year. Every time we meet, it's just a routine question, and I never remember treating myself so closely.
When I read books in my previous life, I remember that they always said that concubines have no status, and even some families will suppress excellent concubines. At that time, I didn't believe that there were fathers who would snub and suppress their children, but I just felt that what was said in the book was too exaggerated. I don't want to wait until I become a concubine to realize that these are all true. Before, I thought that I and my little mother would not be treated well by my mother-in-law, and if I had the opportunity, I would definitely hug this cheap father's thigh, but now I think that I am so naïve.
Dafang already has an eldest son with many older sons-in-law, and this eldest son is still an excellent one, and his own young son is not important. It seems that the little lady taught herself to be low-key in catching the week, and only let herself catch the wine order, which is really thoughtful and understands the thoughts of this family.
An Ran kept pondering in his heart, and Brother Jue over there was also re-put on the big case by Shen Yi.
Jue Ge'er stumbled all the way on the big case, only to see him holding a brush in one small hand and a book of Analects in the other.
When the others saw this, they all smiled and congratulated: "Your prince is holding a brush and books, and there will be a splendid article in the future, and he will eventually be able to pay three yuan and the first." ”
Master Shen, Shen Qixun and Shen Yi on the side, also smiled when they heard everyone's words.
After that, it was An Ran who caught Zhou, and An Ran reached out and grabbed a wine order according to Aunt Liu's teachings these days.
Someone said: "Ling Gongzi caught the wine order, and he will be a long-sleeved and good dancer in the future, and his friends will be all over the world." Everyone also made up a few words.
Shen Yi only nodded. For people like them, the sister-in-law is the most important, and what will happen to the concubine in the future is just icing on the cake.
Finally, a feast awaits friends and family.
Through this arrest, Enron really recognized the situation he was in, and he no longer had illusions in the face of reality. Although I knew that it was not easy to survive in this unknown world, I even threatened my life several times. But in the end, most of the dangers come from the women in the backyard, after all, women who belong to a man at the same time cannot get along peacefully, but today I saw the attitude of my grandfather and father towards my brother and myself in this life, and An Ran's identity in this world is also clearer.
Whether it is for his early life, or for his little mother and half-sister, before he becomes an adult, An Ran decided to implement the word "mediocrity" in everything he does in the future. But don't be too mediocre, so worthless people will not be taken seriously, and Aunt Liu and her sister will need to take care of themselves in the future, which is what they should do as relatives.
So after Anran returned to his and Aunt Liu's courtyard, he kept thinking about the future path.
