Zhou Xiangnian returned to the door of the ancestral house of the sixth room, looked at it from a distance, and saw that the people in the sect room had sent the sedan chair away neatly. Although Shen Er's girl cried and scolded all the way back, she just sent people away. Zhou Xiangnian pursed his lips, and he was also very disdainful of the style of this master and servant.

He entered the gate of the six-room ancestral house, and when he handed over the horse to the gatekeeper while telling the rough servants to help him unload the goods, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Mo's horse also in the corner, preparing to take it back to the stable. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, praising Zhao Mo for his cleverness. No wonder people are so valued by the Hou Ye, at a young age, just this vision of looking at the limelight is not comparable to ordinary people. He Zhou Xiangnian was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when he grew up to such an age, he had seen a lot of the world, but when the second girl Shen approached, he didn't wake up and wanted to dodge, but Zhao Mo left decisively, and successfully got rid of people, neither being said to be rude, nor getting into trouble. This eyesight is much stronger than his Zhou Xiangnian! How can people not admire it?

Zhou Xiangnian sighed a few times, and then saw his brother Zhou Changnian walking out of the side courtyard where the servants lived, and was immediately surprised and delighted: "You came back so early? Why didn't you send a letter before? I asked someone to pick you up." ”

Zhou Changnian said with a smile: "Master Hou wants to summon Mr. He, and by the way, I will ask the shopkeepers and stewards of several industries in the south of the Yangtze River to say some words. It's just less than two days' journey, and there is a car directly to the house, so why bother to send a letter to my brother?"

Zhou Xiangnian stepped forward and pulled his younger brother and looked at it carefully: "Okay, you look good, it seems that you are doing quite well this year." You didn't suffer out there, did you?"

"How can I suffer? I am tired of eating delicious food and drink, and I am tired of eating big fish and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas. Zhou Changnian sighed, "I have repeatedly told them that Master Hou has already instructed me, and they don't have to be so diligent and careful, I will also help them take care of the fields." But they just didn't listen, and after a little prevarication once or twice, they cried and begged to come to the door, but there was really no way. ”

He shook his head and changed the subject, "Just now I heard that when my brother entered the village, he met the bustle at the gate of the sect?"

Zhou Xiangnian raised his eyebrows: "How do you know? It's only been a moment of effort, and it has reached your ears?" "Impossible, right?" The subordinates of the Yongjiahou Mansion have been beaten by him one by one, and they are not so ignorant, and they gossip all day long.

Zhou Changnian smiled and said, "How big is this Qin Village, not to mention the bustle in front of the sect's house." The sedan chair hired by Shen Er had only arrived for a long time, and I was afraid that the whole village would hear about it. If someone else had come to the door like this, the people in the other rooms would have run over to pick it up, otherwise what would be the face of the Qin family? Who called the female dependent, or the maiden niece and nephew of the wife of the sect? The housework of the sect house itself, how could the other heads of the house intervene to take care of it? Therefore, everyone pretended not to hear, otherwise the excitement would not have been resolved until the elder brother returned. ”

Zhou Xiangnian also wondered when he heard this: "It's just that other houses are not easy to manage, why don't the wives and grandmothers of the sect also take care of it?" Other families can also say that they don't want to interfere in the housework of the sect, and the wives and grandmothers of the sect don't feel ashamed?"

Zhou Changnian has heard others talk about this: "Mrs. Zongfang is angry again, and that is also her niece." If her niece refuses to obey, can she still tie people up and send them home? That would really trample on her mother's face to the ground, so she can only persuade her. As for the two young grandmothers, the eldest one has always been smart, and her mother-in-law doesn't speak, so she won't offend people; as for the younger one, who is now sick and dizzy, and has not been able to give birth well for many years, how can she still care about other people's affairs?"

Zhou Xiangnian snorted: "If even the wife of the patriarch of the clan is soft-hearted, it is no wonder that the second girl Shen has no fear, clamoring to see her aunt at the gate of the sect, and others can't get rid of it." To be honest, it's the first time I've seen such a shameless girl. I have seen her sister, who is dignified and generous, who speaks softly and elegantly, and who is simply the same as her sister in the sky and underground. In the past, my wife gave the fifth master's daughter-in-law, but I didn't have the Shen family girl in the phase, and I was still secretly saying that it was a pity, this Shen family's family background was much stronger than the Feng family, why did the lady choose a weak one for the fifth master? Now I can figure it out, what's the use of having a good family background? It's not enough to upset people with such an uneasy little sister-in-law!"

Zhou Changnian said: "Logically speaking, this Shen Er girl's actions are also incomprehensible. Although I heard that she had made some unseemly rumors before, and also said bad things about our Uncle Wu, which annoyed her aunt, she didn't even let her live in the house in the town, and asked Second Uncle Shen to rent another house to settle in. When it comes to this, if the girl is wise, she should be honest. When they returned to Songjiang with their family, what did she want to do? Why did she have to go to Zongfang to make trouble? If she really wanted to make amends to Mrs. Zongfang, she should ask her Lao Tzu to come forward and say goodbye, and then make serious apologies. I only brought a girl, hired a sedan chair and came here, blocking the door of people's houses and forcing the elders to see me, but it didn't seem like a sincere reparation. What the hell is she thinking?"

Zhou Xiangnian spread his hands: "You ask me, who do I ask?" She just saw me, and said that she wanted to come to greet our Mrs. Hou, and thank Mrs. Hou for helping her sister talk about good family affairs. Her brother has already sent a thank you gift, even if she is grateful, it will not be her turn to come forward from a girl's family. God knows what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd?!"

The brothers of the Zhou family couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the second girl Shen, and after listening to Zhao Mo's explanation, Qin Hanzhen, who had asked Zhou Xiangnian about the follow-up, had his own guess: "Should she still want to climb the high branch of our family, I heard that her father, brother and sister were going back to Songjiang, so she ran over without giving up, and wanted to find a chance to stick it to our house, right?"

The marriage between Miss Shen and Mao Xiucai has been agreed. Master Mao's family is very satisfied with this future nephew and daughter-in-law. Because his brother and daughter-in-law were seriously ill, he didn't know how long he could last, and the marriage date could only be advanced as much as possible, so the two families agreed to get married in early March. Second Master Shen needs to prepare the dowry of his eldest daughter before the end of February, and send it to Huzhou to be married on a certain day.

Although the dowry of Miss Shen has been prepared by the family since she was a child, some things have to be filled back because they have been divided by the sister-in-law. The wife of the patriarch of the Qin family felt sorry for her eldest nephew, and had promised to help, so she found a shop in Jinling City that specialized in giving people dowries, ordered a complete set of good dowries, and added a set of red gold head noodles and a set of pearl head noodles for Shen Da Girl as a dowry. Feng's cousin-in-law knew her mother-in-law's thoughts, and she also generously sent a few pieces of jewelry, and also introduced a Suzhou silk and satin cloth village to the Shen family, which was opened by her relatives. Second Master Shen has already decided, on the way back to Songjiang, he will stay in Suzhou for three days, buy clothes, and even buy the second daughter's share. When she got home, Miss Shen still had to embroider a lot of needlework. The wedding dress has been made for a long time, and only needs to be slightly modified. However, after passing the door, she still needs to do the needlework for her husband and her mother-in-law.

Time is so tight, it is naturally impossible for Second Master Shen to delay in Jiangning any longer, and he has already set to leave in three days. For the second girl Shen who has always been interested in climbing to the Yongjiahou Mansion, this is not good news. She was disgusted by her aunt and never came to Qinzhuang again. If she doesn't do anything, she will follow her family back to Songjiang, and when the people from the Yongjiahou Mansion return to the capital, where will she have anything to do? Thinking about it this way, she will ignore the etiquette and run to Qinzhuang without authorization, and it is not incomprehensible that she will ask the patriarch's wife for forgiveness, and she will tell Zhou Xiangnian that she wants to visit Yongjiahou and his wife.

Zhao Mo scoffed at this: "It's really a daydream." When she dared to look down on Mr. Wu that day, her uncles and grandparents would never look down on her. Who does she think she is?

Qin Hanzhen said: "I didn't expect my father to become a sweetheart in the eyes of others. It's just that with such low-end means, I don't dare to let her spoil my father, so let her continue to find a golden beetle son-in-law in Jiangnan. After finishing speaking, he asked Zhao Mo with great interest, "Cousin Zhao has such an identity, such a handsome talent, then Shen Second Girl has seen you, why didn't she hit you with the idea?"

Zhao Mo was angry and funny, and glanced at her: "Cousin is really right...... How old am I? How old is she? She's too embarrassed to make up her mind, I'm too embarrassed to pay attention to it! If she dares to come, I'll kick her away. Master, that's what she can think of?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, what my cousin said is right!"

Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled, and tilted his head to look at her again: "Does my cousin really think I'm handsome?"

"Of course. Qin Hanzhen smiled and coaxed him, "Where in the world can you find such a handsome and beautiful young man?" Among the young people I have seen, you are the most handsome, Cousin Zhao!"

She just praised casually, but Zhao Mo was overjoyed when she heard it, and in addition to being happy, she was also a little embarrassed: "My cousin is really too young and hasn't opened her mind yet, otherwise how could she praise me so unscrupulously?" It's just ...... Does she really think I'm so good? Since there is no one she has ever met who is better looking than me, will she not fall in love with anyone else in the future......

Qin Hanzhen didn't know what he was thinking, but when he saw that his cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes were shining, he looked particularly radiant, and he thought that he was coaxed by himself to be happy, and he was in a good mood, so he would be like this. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and still sighed in her heart: When this young man met at the beginning, he was not so attractive, but now he is getting better and better, and his personality is becoming more and more cheerful. She gets along with such a beautiful boy every day, what if she doesn't look down on other men in the future? She doesn't have much confidence, and the husband and wife that her grandparents or father find for her in the future will also have this level of hue.

Alas, this is really annoying......
