After Shen Miaolan selected the items, she went to Yizhen Pavilion to find Shen Yilan to greet the third lady.

The third lady was asking someone to set the meal, and she was in a good mood to see her two flower-like daughters coming together. beckoned, "Come on, you two love to eat today." After eating, I went to greet the old lady together. ”

Shen Miaolan and Yilan sat next to the third lady on the left and right, and after the mother and daughter had breakfast, the third lady instructed her mother on the side and said, "The third aunt and grandmother's family came back today, and the old lady gave her brothers leave, go to the outer courtyard to pick up Brother Xi'er." ”

This Xi brother's name is Shen Xi, Xingsan, only nine years old this year, and he is the concubine of the third master. Back then, this Tongfang was able to give birth, and there was also an untold story. What the plot is, no one knows. Anyway, after the child was born, the biological mother died in childbirth. Mrs. Shen San is a person who can't rub sand in her eyes, and she still infers this, I'm afraid that this girl who wants to climb the bed should not have died of childbirth.

After this happened, Master Shen San slept in the study for eight months. After the child was successfully born and the biological mother disappeared again, Master Shen San returned to his room smoothly. Brother Xi was raised by Mrs. Shen San from birth to the age of five, and he never treated him harshly, so naturally he would not pay much attention to him. It's all raised in front of kittens and puppies. When he was six years old, the third master invited an enlightenment teacher, and the child moved to the outer courtyard to live. Every day, I came with my second brother Shen Mo to the third lady, and the old lady said goodbye. The rest of the time I spent my time studying hard. I don't move around much with my sisters either.

The original owner, Shen Miaolan, didn't have much affection for her younger brother, and Shen Miaolan naturally didn't have a deep impression of him. She had only seen him two or three times at the old lady's place.

Yilan also doesn't pay much attention to his younger brother.

When the two sisters saw their mother mention Brother Xi'er, they were still a little cold, so they didn't talk much.

After using the mouthwash tea, Fu's mother brought Brother Xi in.

"Madam, the third young master is here. Fu's mother lifted the curtain on one side and reported inside.

Shen Miaolan put down the small teacup painted in pink and blue in her hand, and looked up to see a little boy wearing a dark blue embroidered persimmon Ruyi robe and a piece of jasper round around his waist entering the door. Some timidly asked the third lady to say goodbye, "The son asked his mother to say goodbye, and asked the two sisters how to say hello." ”

Mrs. Shen San snorted, her expression faint, "Sit down." ”

Shen Xi thanked him and wanted to sit down on the embroidery pier on the side. Although the child was nine years old, his body was only six or seven years old. The cautious appearance makes people feel distressed when they see it.

The age of children is an important period for psychological construction. He looks like this, obviously a little inferior. If a boy has an inferiority complex, he will cause great trouble to himself and others in his future life.

Although Shen Miaolan could understand the unhappiness in Shen San's heart when she saw the son born to another woman and her husband, this child was innocent after all. It seems that the mistakes made by adults are borne by children, which is a bit inauthentic.

Shen Miaolan, as a pseudo-ancient person with modern thinking, is a little unbearable. So he patted the vacant seat next to him, "Brother Xi, you come to sit here with the fifth sister." ”

Mrs. Shen frowned slightly, and the hand holding the teacup paused. Shen Yilan looked up and glanced at Shen Miaolan with some confusion. Fu's mother and others on the side were all heartbeat.

Shen Xi looked up a little flattered and looked at Shen Miaolan blankly.

A big smile bloomed on Shen Miaolan's face, and she beckoned again, "What are you doing, come here." ”

Shen Xi's body leaned forward, but he subconsciously looked at Mrs. Shen San, with three points of timidity and seven installments in her eyes.

Mrs. Shen San still had a poker face, "Your fifth sister called you, so go over." ”

Shen Xi nodded happily like a child with candy, and quickly walked to Shen Miaolan's side. Miao Lan stretched out her hand and pulled him, telling him to sit beside her. Rubbing his little head, "Why don't you look very tall, are you not eating well?"

Shen Miaolan rarely treated him so enthusiastically, and Shen Xi was a little flattered. And because his sister was very good-looking, rubbing his head like this made him a little shy. The little face was covered with a layer of redness, and he lowered his head and said cowardly, "I also eat well every day, but I don't know why I don't grow tall or meat." ”

Shen Miaolan looked at the child's slender wrist and felt that eating well seemed unreliable. Picking his eyes, he went to see the nurse Zhang's mother who came in with her.

The status of being a nurse for an unfavored concubine is naturally different from being a nurse for a sister-in-law or a favored concubine. Since this mother has entered a rich and noble family like the Yongning Hou Mansion, it is impossible not to think about it in her heart. First, she really cherishes Shen Xi, hoping that he can be treated by his mother-in-law and taken care of by his sister-in-law, and secondly, she naturally hopes that her future can be better.

Seeing Shen Miaolan looking at herself, her eyes rolled. hurriedly replied, "Brother Su Rili always eats alone, and the food is somewhat unfragrant. ”

Mrs. Shen San flew over with a knife in her eyes, and Mother Zhang felt a chill down her spine. I still wanted to say it, but I swallowed it raw. Biting his lip, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Shen Miaolan naturally didn't dare to block her in front of her mother, so she laughed dryly and said, "Second brother occasionally stays in the outer courtyard to eat, you can go to him to eat." ”

The concubine with a precarious status is the best at reading people's faces. Shen Xi saw that the third lady was unhappy, and he didn't dare to speak much, so he only answered in a low voice. Don't dare to speak anymore.

Shen Yilan didn't understand what her sister was doing today, in her consciousness, the brother who came out of the concubine was basically not a brother to herself. secretly glanced at his sister, and rushed to the rescue before Mrs. Shen San was mad. "It's getting late, it's time for us to go and say hello to Grandmother. ”

Mrs. Shen San looked at the wall clock on the wall and nodded, "Seeing that it's almost two o'clock, let's get up and leave." ”

Shen Yilan got up to help the third lady, and Miaolan led Shen Xi out.

The third lady Xu was angry with Miaolan, and she walked quickly with Yilan in front, obviously not wanting to deal with Shen Miaolan. Shen Miaolan didn't mind, and walked behind with her little fresh meat brother, talking and laughing.

Shen Xi was a little restrained, but he was willing to be close to Shen Miaolan. A mouthful of a sister, Shen Miaolan, who is called, is happy in her heart.

"In the future, you can come to my sister for dinner after school. Boys should eat more, grow taller, and have a lot of energy. I won't mention this to protect the family and defend the country, there is no practical use. At least you have to be able to support your sisters when they are wronged. ”

"Support?" Shen Xi looked at Shen Miaolan a little blankly.

"Ahh Miao Lan nodded, "For example, if the fourth sister and I marry a bastard and make us angry, you can beat them!"

"Huh?" Shen Xi looked at his sister in disbelief.

Shen Miaolan thought that her younger brother couldn't keep up with her divine logic, and smiled awkwardly. But he saw Shen Xi look at his clenched little fist, and said sullenly, "If my sister doesn't marry a man like Brother Xiuming, I should be able to fight." ”
